CSU Channel Islands will break ground Oct. 6 on the construction of the campus’ North Hall facility, which will house a 120-seat lecture hall, seven lecture classrooms, 3 computer labs, and faculty and administrative offices. The building project, whose total cost is estimated at $32.6 million dollars, has been in the planning stages since fall 2005. It entered the design phase in spring 2007 but was stalled by the funding crisis at the end of 2008, when the state stopped all capital projects. The project is expected to be completed in 2012. The groundbreaking ceremony will take place Oct. 6 at 10:30 a.m.
