the 80s — three decades of-CSUF growth
It's been 30 years since Fresno State College
packed up and moved from its old site (now Fresno
City College ) to its present surroundings. In that
time the college became a university and with that
growth came a need to modernize accordingly.
One of the keys to proper modernization is being
able to foresee the future and its demands. Such is
thejob of Tim Johnson, CSUF's facilities planner.
Johnson has worked here for 20 years. Nearly half
of that has been spent as university building coordi¬
nator and his present position.
He's seen the campus grow from near infancy to
maturity and he's proud of the progress made in his
"I think we've come a long way," Johnson said.
"We've got excellent, modern teaching facilities.
Over the summer break, ihree major building pro¬
jects were underway on campus. One, the new
Dairy, was completed July 28 at a cost of SI,425,414
and will be fully operational sometime this month.
"The new Dairy is state-of-the-art," said Johnson.
'We're very pleased with the results."
Also under construction is the Satellite College
Tnion, which will sit between the New Science and
Agnculturc buildings.
Johnson said work is proceeding well on sche¬
dule for a January 1984 opening. Construction costs
were set at $1,317,600.
The third major project is the remodeling of
Beiden Field, home of the men's baseball team.
Work is 15 percent finished, according to John¬
son, with a completion date set for next January.
The cost is $1,297,000.
Other projects on a smaller scale include the
upgrading of the women's softball field and War-
mcrdam Field, the school's track and field complex.
The old press box, concession stand and res-
trooms from Beiden Field were moved to the soft-
balTfield, as were bleachers from Warmerdam. The
addition of an electronic scoreboard rounds out the
improvements.
The old bleachers from the baseball field were
moved to Warmerdam Held, increasing seating .
capacity at the track to approximately 3,000.
Johnson is excited about two major projects that
will soon be underway. Both will increase parking.
The first is the tripling in size of parking lot Q at
Barstow and Jackson Avenues. The number of park¬
ing stalls will jump from 200 to 600 at a cost of
$275,000, which comes from the sale of parking
The second is the blacktopping of what Johnson
calls "the dust bowl" at the south end of Bulldog
Stadium. It will become parking lot R for $126,000.
Also soon to be underway is a remodeling of the
North Gym. The makeover will include new facilities
for the Army ROTC, sports information, basketball
offices and an enlarged training facility: Funded by
the Athletic Corporation for $97,000, the project will
be completed Nov. I.
Johnsons's crystal ball is already glowing with
future undertakings.

"As a member of the CSU system, we're in competi¬

The campus is shaped by a master plan that is
updated every three years by CSUF officials and
approved by the CSU system.
In his nine years as building coordinator and facil¬
ities planner, Johnson has overseen the construction
of the Industrial Arts, Engineering and New Science
buildings, the Health Center, Residence Dining
Hall, the Henry Madden Library and Bulldog
Stadium.
In a short time those buildings will probably be
outdated as more modern, sophisticated complexes
sprout up around them. So the cycle of progress
