GOV. WARREN BREAKS GROUND FOR NEW CAMPUS
Official groundbreaking on the new Shaw Avenue site
was held on October 18, 1950, at ceremonies attended by
more than 2,000 persons. Chief Justice Earl Warren, then
the Governor of California, was the main speaker at the
ceremony.
The first building to be occupied on the multi-million
dollar campus was the laboratory school in 1952. Although
the entire men's physical education unit was not complete,
the basketball team played part of its 1953-54 season in
the new gymnasium. In the fall of 1954, the agriculture,
industrial arts, music and ag mechanics building were populated by the growing student body. During the Christmas
vacation of 1954, the president's office and the student
personnel offices were moved to the new campus.
By the fall of 1953 almost 400 students were attending
classes on the new campus, commuting by special bus from
the old campus. Then with the completion of the education-
psychology building in the fall of 1955, the new campus
became the main FSC site. More than 75 percent of the
total classes were scheduled on the new campus.
In the spring of 1956 one of the most tedious and difficult transfers occured with the occupancy of the new library.
Since then the new student cafeteria, a woman's physical
education building, a bookstore—financed by the FSC Student Association—and the medical center have been completed and occupied.
The new campus, a $30 million capital investment, was
dedicated May 9, 1958.
THIRD PRESIDENT of the college, Dr. Arnold E. Joyal,
was appointed in 1948.
THE LONE THREE story structure on campus, the art-home economics building, was built in 1957
and part of 1958.
PARTICIPATING in groundbreaking ceremonies are Governor Earl Warren, Senator Hugh
Burns, P. T. Poage, Dr. Roy E. Simpson and Dr. Arnold Joyal.
EARL H. WIGHT, former administrative assistant to President
Joyal, observes sculpture on the men's gym.
