I would love to see the 'Quad' area focused on, but it looks liek they will need 4 or 5 huge expensive buildings and numerous parking garages before that becomes a reality...
Also that amplitheater looks interesting...
Let me know what you know!

So far the only new buildings approved and funded for construction are:
- ROTC building
- Ceramics Studio
- Track & Field Stadium/Soccer Stadium (Park West)
Plans called for East Campus to be the next major phase, but the new master plan calls for a more urban campus. East Campus would have focused on graduate level studies and housing. The economic downturn has really slowed growth plans at the university for now. Most major buildings that have recently been constructed were paid for by the state government (BSE & New Engineering Building) or student-approved fee increases (Rec Center Expansion & UC Expansion). The first phase of the athletics park is mostly funded by recent local bonds.
You can check the minutes from the Board of Regents meetings which approve all new construction on their website:
