Does the institution's physical campus plan include sustainability at a high level?:
A brief description of how the physical campus plan or amendment includes sustainability:
The 2007 SDSU Campus Master Plan and subsequent revisions provide the framework for the physical growth and development of the campus to support a vibrant campus community. The Master Plan incorporates principles that support a more sustainable campus and community in several ways. First, the 2007 plan was developed through the shared governance process by a committee of faculty, staff and students and incorporates community feedback. By engaging stakeholders through its shared governance process the university seeks to develop a more equitable plan that represents the diversity our community.
Second, the plan provides for physical development that is in alignment with SDSU's goals of providing access to high quality university education in the face of increasing demands; encouraging a diverse student body, and continue to contribute to the region’s economic future.
The plan also supports more sustainable development of the physical campus by providing for affordable housing for faculty and staff, increasing on-campus student housing, and supporting alternative transportation. Increasing on-campus housing and opening a on-campus trolley stop will reduce the impact of commuter of traffic on the community and the environment.
The plan also outlines the CSU and SDSU's commitment to funding a fair-share of the costs related to off-site transportation improvements made necessary by university development. This ensures that the full impact of projects on the environment and the community are accounted for and mitigated.
