Sacramento State - Placer Center

Sacramento State - Placer Center

Notice of Preparation of an environmental impact report for Sacramento State - Placer Center. CSU is preparing a comprehensive plan for Sacramento State - Placer Center, an off-campus center that will support academic and student success and promote diversity and inclusion while also serving as an economic anchor for the region that promotes community building and placemaking. The 301-acre Sacramento State - Placer Center site is located within the 2,213-acre Placer Ranch Specific Plan (PRSP) area, which is in turn located within the Sunset Area Plan (SAP) area in Placer County. The off-campus center is anticipated to include approximately 3 million GSF of development, supporting Placer County’s projection of 30,000 students. However, because this off-campus center is anticipated to serve primarily part-time students, of the projected 30,000 students, there may be approximately 12,000 full-time equivalent (FTE) students (based on an estimate of 2.5 part-time students equaling one FTE). Buildout is anticipated to include four phases of development over a period of 15+ years. Phase 1 would include academic buildings, a library, a Placer County crime lab, a central heating and cooling plant, 5-acres to be leased to Placer County for a fire station, a shipping and receiving corporation yard, and parking. Phase 2 would include recreation and wellness facilities, expansion of the academic core, University-related housing, a dining center, an administrative building, a second central heating and cooling plant, and additional parking. Phase 3 would include public program space (performance center, continuing education building, and conference center), expanded academic buildings and recreation and wellness facilities, and additional University-related housing. Phase 3 would be supported by additional corporation yard space, administrative buildings, another central heating and cooling plant, and additional parking. Phase 4 would involve final build-out of the site, including further development near the eastern boundary of the site and an innovation district in the northeastern portion of the site, which would involve commercial/industrial enterprises that provide hands-on learning and internship opportunities for students.
