University's architecture reflects Italian style
Over the next few decades,
students attending the Cal State San
Marcos will study in an atmosphere
similar to that of a Mediterranean
village.
The $650-$700 million construction project which began in fall
1990 will span a period of over two
decades and cover 305 acres.
The nearly completed first phase
of the project includes a laboratory
building, commons, a lecture hall
and the $14.6 million William A.
Craven Administration Building.
The entire cost of Phase I rings in at
about $47.5 million.
According to Albert Amado,
vice president for Physical Planning
and Campus Construction, students
entering the campus this fall will
see and feel the campus's architectural statement immediately.
"We will make a major entry
statement of quality and outside
openness," said Amado. "We
shouldn't wait until the last phase to
create an atmosphere."
Amado said the Mediterranean
village design of the architecture
came about only after the concept
of tfie campus was reviewed.
To reduce pedestrian circulation
time, buildings throughout all
phases of construction will be
condensed into an easily accessible
formation. Most buildings will have
maximum widths of 50 feet and will
rise a minimum of four stories,
thereby creating the feeling of a
condensed Italian village.
"In trying to respect the terrain,
we get a Mediterranean sense. The
campus will resemble a crested
Italian hill town," Amado said.
He said he wanted the campus to
"read as one strong architectural
statement." According to Amado,
many of the other campuses did not
account for future growth at their
onset. As a result those campuses
contain mixed architectural styles.
"We are one of the few universities that are master-planned for full
growth," said Amado.
To help develop the campus's
master architectural plan, Amado
worked for a full year with CRSS
Inc., an architectural group based in
Irvine, to develop concepts and
plans.
Some of the completed campus's
features will be:
computing system for the entire
campus as well as administrative
offices and the library for Phase I.
• A six-lane main entry way.
Flanked by three rows of trees on
each side, the drive will make a
major entry statement to the
campus.

�University's history shows construction ups and downs
At times officials at Gal State
San Marcos must have wondered
whether they were constructing a
campus or a perpetual motion
machine.
During the two-year construction
history of the campus, events
occurred which led many to wonder
if the campus would open by its
scheduled time of fall 1992.
There were contractors disputes
and bouts with droughts. The
"March Miracle" came along and
almost drowned hopes of opening
the university campus on time.
Financial problems placed the
campus in dire "jeopardy."
Amid the construction problems,
the university received a state-ofthe-arts telecommunications system
for its campus. Building bids came
in more than $1 million below
projected costs.
Here is a look back at CSUSM
turbulent construction history as
written in Pioneer by Larry Boisjolie.
• CSUSM approved: On Sept
1,1989, California Governor
George Deukmejian (R) and 38th
District Senator William Craven (R)
took part in the signing of SB 365
into law.
The bill officially named the new
California State University campus
as CSU, San Marcos. The signing
took place at San Diego State
University's North County campus,
the two-year home of the new
university.
CSUSM became the twentieth
campus in the CSU.
reflective of the tone of future
projects. He hopes bids for the new
campus's other "feature" buildings
will be lower as well.
The State University Board of
trustees approved the bid in
November of 1990.
• Dispute halts construction:
A dispute between Louetto
Construction Inc., of Escondido,
and grading subcontractor C.W.
Poss, of Anaheim, halted
construction for more than six
weeks in September and October of
1990.
Poss officials claimed that
Louetto was delinquent in paying
them $1.3 million for work already
completed at the site. The subcontractor refused to continue work
until the debt was paid.
Louetto, which was awarded the
$9 million contract in April of 1990,

opening of the new campus.
Since 1985, Louetto has been
involved in 52 lawsuits with its
subcontractors. Most of the suits
charged Louetto with failure to pay
for work done on jobs in the county.

College officials contacted
Louetto's bonding company,
Reliance Surety of Seattle, in an
effort to resolve the dispute.
Because the conflict remained
unresolved by Oct 31,1990,
Reliance informed the university
that they could take over the project
aftpr Louetto's contract was
terminated. CSUSM then fired
Louetto, leaving the campus
without a builder.
On Nov. 9,1990, Reliance
announced the selection of Lusardi
Construction Co. to resume work on
the campus. College officials
worried that the delay in construction might postpone the fall 1992
opening of the campus.
• Construction resumes amid
drought: Even though construction
on the $14.3 million Craven Hall
Building had begun, university
officials voiced concerns that
drought conditions and budgetary
problems might drench all hopes of
opening the campus by its
scheduled fall 1992 date.
Albeit Amado, vice president of
Campus Construction and Physical
Planning, sail all of the time buffer
allotted to construction of the
campus was eaten up by a dispute
between Louetto Construction Inc.
and grading subcontractor C.W.

Although Lusardi Construction
Co. met its first construction
deadline in March 1991, the 5-yearold drought facing California
presented new obstacles.
On March 14,1991, directors of
the San Diego County Water
Authority unanimously approved
enactment of the most severe wateruse restrictions in county history.
The restrictions would have

County cut water usage by 50

Amado said the campus would
seek water from a different water
authority if necessary, or it would

water for the construction project

campus was the lack of available
funding from the state. With the

recession slowed down consumer
spending, it may actually have

CSU San Marcos serves as focal point for 'Heart of the City'
Many students attending the
other 19 Cal State University
campuses haven't heard of die new
addition to their academic system.
Even some local residents don't
know that the cluster of new
buildings off Twin Oaks Valley
Road is a new university.
But for the people who woik for
the city of San Marcos, Cal State
San Marcos has been a main focal
point for the community's future
development and growth. The
university has spurred a project
entitled, "Heart of the City," an
elaborate downtown plan revolving
around the new campus.
Here is a look back at what is
planned for the future of San
Marcos as written in Pioneer by
Jonathan Young.

"San Marcos doesn't have a

create a central foqus for the city
with the university as the anchor of

With the surrounding zoning,
Malone said the master plan would
give travelers a certain feel for the
area.
"We'll establish a sense of place

"You're really going to know
something is there."
The "Heart of the City" area
encompasses nearly 1,600 acres.

• Walk on in: A strong thrust of
this project is pedestrian oriented.
Malone said that traffic has been a
challenge for schools and CSUSM
would not be an exception; the new
campus will draw 65,000 cars a
day.

area (with the exception of a Unical
station already built).
Malone doesn't see this walkingonly area as a problem for generating business. "People will build
whatever you want if they see the
potential foot traffic," he said.
"Parking in interior," he said.
"The buildings are set back to allow
for a 50-foot wide walkway. What
this plan also allows for is outside
seating."
"Walk on in," is how Malone
described the concept.
• Civic, Business Centers
accent plans: Two main develop-
ments accent the "Heart of the City"
project: a University Center will
directly neighbor the college and a
Civic Center — housing the city's
government — will mirror the
university on the opposite side of
the freeway.
The Civic Center will be a civic
and cultural complex which will
include City Hall, a conference
center, cultural facilities, recreation
center, commercial offices, a hotel
and a park. The City Hall complex
design will gives special consideration to the creation of a vertical
focal point with high visibility from
the freeway, to compliment the
clock tower at Cal State San
Marcos.
The business park will comprise
of high tech/industrial/office parks
in a master-planned setting. Support
commercial uses, such as hotels and
health spas, would also be included.
Land use within this designation
shall be conducive to high quality
use. No drive-thru facilities will be
allowed.
• Monorail on track: Officials
with the North County Transportation District agreed in October,
1992, to match San Marcos'
commitment to study a monorail
system that will serve the new
campus of CSUSM.
NCTD board members agreed to
spend $5,000 to study alternatives
of a light-rail commuter train
travelingfromOceanside to
Escondido. The dollar figure
matches the donation from the city
of San Marcos which is pushing for
a monorail system.
The transit district's current
plans include a trolley system
similar to the San Diego Trolly.
This commuter line would use
already in place train tracks
crossing the North County area.
Malone said the current proposal
only needs some additions to the
rails to make the commute line
operations — such as more crossing
signals and electric wires to power
the trolly. The monorail system,
however, would require a whole
new set of elevated tracks.
The transit district has shied
away from the additional costs of
elevating a new track line because
of the costs involved. Malone,
however, said NCTD will recover
its investment.
"The university it what makes it
feasible this early in time," he said.
When fully implements, Malone
said 20 percent of theriderswould
potentially consist of CSUSM
students.
"We've always thought ahead of
how to control traffic congestion;"
Malone said. Mass transit is the way
the city decided to handle the traffic
generated by the university's
presence.

What Can You Do With A Few Bucks?
You can make a difference by investing in a Student Union The Student Union is a building for the students, built with student fees, planned by students and run by students. This
proposed Student Union containsroomsthat can be used for concerts, club meetings, special
presentations, a bookstore, plus much more. It can generate income for additional student needs
o | be run as a non-profit organization (which adds up to students saving $$).
As our campus grows, we will out-grow the offices, dub meetingrooms,and food services in the Commons building. The Commons building does not belong to the students, it
belongs to the University, which means that we can be moved around, displaced, or re-scheduled
according to the University's needs. This is why we are trying to get the ballrollingfor the
student's so that they can take advantage of the benefits of a Student Union by the year 2000.
This semester, your student government would like your support in passing the Student
Union initiative. Your money makes more money, because by showing your support we will
finally be able to ask outside community and businesses for their support. For further information, come to the A.S. office.
Get the ballrolling!VOTE YES THIS OCTOBER FOR THE STUDENT UNION.
