土地捐赠启动了未来的萨克州立砂石中心
2021年3月15日
A donation from Placer Ranch, 公司。, owned by Eli Broad, a noted entrepreneur and philanthropist, is likely to ensure that what began with 萨克拉门托 State’s founding in 1947 will continue well into the future and reach further into the region.
Broad’s gift of 300 acres in unincorporated Placer County on behalf of 萨克拉门托 State to 博彩平台 is the foundation for what will become 萨克拉门托 State Placer Center.
这笔价值2740万美元的土地捐赠是迄今为止萨克州立大学收到的最大一笔捐赠。 As home to the planned center, about 28 miles east of 萨克拉门托, it will serve one of the state’s fastest-growing regions.
“The impact of this decision for the Placer region and most importantly our students is unprecedented,” said Holly Tiche ’89 (Business Administration - Accountancy), president of Placer Ranch, 公司。 “(The gift) is a testimony to the power of partnership among education, government, and private industry.”
博彩平台于2020年3月24日批准了萨克拉门托州立砂石中心的成立，并接受了砂石牧场公司的捐赠。 普莱塞县的监管人员还批准了该县1700万美元的基础设施投资。
砂石中心将是2,200英亩总体规划的砂石牧场开发的核心。
The land is within Placer County’s Sunset Area, which has been set aside for decades to generate job growth in the region.
按照设想，该项目将成为一个提供全方位服务的社区，包括办公、商业空间以及研究设施
Placer Center initially could accommodate up to 1,500 full-time students, many of whom could be enrolled simultaneously at 囊状态 and Rocklin’s Sierra College, one of the University’s largest feeder schools.
“We know that, unlike Southern California and the rest of the United States, 萨克拉门托 and the surrounding regions continue to grow in population,” said University President Robert S. Nelsen, citing need for the center. “萨克拉门托 State is turning away 3,000 to 4,000 students every year. Placer中心将使我们能够在离家更近的地方教育学生，让他们在毕业后进一步发展他们在Placer的网络，丰富该地区。 It will also allow us to free up space on the main campus for students who are waiting in line for their chance to come to 囊状态.”
普拉瑟中心建筑的第一阶段预计将成为普拉瑟县犯罪实验室和塞拉学院转学中心。 其他建筑将根据筹款和公私合作机会跟进。
“The types of partnerships we envision for the center and use of the space will be the first of its kind, and will be a model for higher education across the country,” said Jonathan Bowman, vice president for Administration and Business Affairs.
“Nothing has ever been done for the CSU quite like what Placer Ranch has been able to do for us. It’s pretty spectacular.”
学术方面，Sac州立大学正在与Sierra学院合作开展双招生项目，以满足Placer县的教育需求，并利用两所院校之间强有力的伙伴关系。 我们的目标是为学生完成社区学院的学习并转学到大学创建一个无缝的学术支持计划系统。
“We’re thinking about innovative ways to serve students better,” said Christine Miller, 萨克拉门托 State’s interim vice provost for Strategic Services.
