At nearly 10,600-square-feet, the addition to the Nursing Building cannot go unnoticed by passers-by, going so far as to redirect pedestrian traffic to the opposite sidewalk.The $4.3 million project has been running smoothly since its groundbreaking ceremony two weeks ago, as reported on this blog. The addition has been groundbreaking indeed, since there has not been an upgrade to the nursing building since 1975.
CSULB created an official press release that explained the specific structure of the new building by stating it will "call for a steel brace frame with steel decking and metal studs. The exterior of the addition will be a combination of thin brick, aluminum storefront and glass windows and stucco plaster, matching the existing nursing building. Sustainable features will include natural daylighting, materials with high recycled content, waterless urinals, low-flow plumbing fixtures and higher rated insulation."
