Document Description
San Jose State University has undertaken an update of their Master Plan due to three conditions influencing campus change: the difficulty of land acquisition for expansion, the limited availability of state funding for capitol projects, and increasing student enrollment. The previous SJSU Master Plan was a land use diagram, which designated existing and future campus uses. The diagram was amended each time a building was added, or improvements were made, but there was no comprehensive plan for campus change and growth. SJSU is now updating the Master Plan to create a comprehensive document that addresses the future physical development and land use on the campus.
In order to address the changing needs of the SJSU Campus, the Master Plan Update has four principal objectives. These objectives are to enhance the character and quality of the SJSU Main Campus, explore innovative public-private partnerships for facility improvements that are worthwhile, beneficial, and appropriate on campus, utilize campus land more efficiently, and provide facilities to meet the demands of increasing student enrollment.
The Master Plan Update provides the framework for the development of facilities to ensure the campus' ability to meet its educational mission. Campus land would be used more efficiently through increased building heights and higher density. SJSU is preparing this EIR to evaluate the potential environmental effects from the approval of the Master Plan update, which lead to the construction of new buildings on campus.
