Budget Crisis is Merely a Roadblock in the Rear View

The construction of the Hall of Science is moving along schedule after a setback in May of this year, caused by none other than the state budget crisis.

The delay on production lasted three months, but has since picked up with speed, committing to the May 2011 opening date.

Since the state could not provide the funding any longer, CSULB made the decision to continue work on the project by asking for help from the students. As a whole, the construction project costs $2 million a month. However, students begin paying $120 a month starting in the fall of next year.

In situations like this, one can only be left to hope that those dollars are being put to good use. With structural steel in clear view (see picture), students can rest assured as determined workers build in the blazing sun toward the ultimate goal of a new educational workplace.
