Expansion Plans

CSU recently unveiled a long-term plan to make the campus more amenable to residence and increase the number of students living on campus by building thousands of housing units (including a new dormitory, Fenn Tower, a reuse of the school's most historic building that is now under construction).

The University also plans to construct a new student recreation center, as well as two new buildings for the Colleges of Graduate Studies and Education; there are longer-term plans to create a "Varsity Village" incorporating athletic fields and student housing into a green, residential area.
