Billions are needed to repair, renovate and maintain Cal State’s buildings

Students complain about heat and damaged buildings but funds not available to fix

Billions of dollars are needed to fully repair, maintain and renovate academic buildings and facilities across the 23 campuses in the California State University system, according to a legislative report.

But that is money that the system, and the state, don’t have readily available. Meanwhile, some students have complained about unbearable heat waves in classrooms without air conditioning and canceled classes due to flooded buildings.
