He unveiled the key concepts of a new campus master plan, as agreed upon by a task force made up of University and community leaders. It will be a blueprint for all physical aspects of the campus.

Part of the master plan would likely address the south end of campus, near Hornet Stadium, and the potential for developing new student housing, restaurants, shops and an events center. That section of campus is highly visible from Highway 50, and the city of Sacramento has plans to extend Ramona Avenue, which will create another entrance to the campus.
“The (task force) members also want a beautiful campus that can serve as the University’s face to the world.
