Campus Deferred Maintenance and Improvements
Since fall 2013, Fresno State has invested over $194 million in capital related projects, both new construction and capital renewal and renovation. Some notable projects include our updated electrical infrastructure, the Physical Therapy and Intercollegiate Athletic Building (PTIA), the Jordan Agricultural Research Center (JARC), lecture room and laboratory modernizations, HVAC updates, repairs to underground utility infrastructure (i.e. hot water, natural gas, storm and sewer lines), the Student Health Center, North and South Gym Modernization, new Equestrian Locker Room, Central Plant Cooling Tower replacement, Bulldog Stadium improvements, and the start of construction for the New Resnick Student Union.
This year we expect a total of over $50 million in major infrastructure projects, many of which are currently underway including Phase II of Science Laboratories modernization, Phase II (restroom design) of the Bulldog Stadium Modernization project, eMBA Executive Classroom modernization and renovations to the East Engineering lobby. We are also working on Deferred Maintenance projects totaling more than $43 million.
