Over the summer, 70 former Army structures were taken down as work continues to improve the safety and appearance of campus, which is located on part of the former Fort Ord base.

About 90 percent of construction debris – including metal, wood and concrete foundations – was recycled, keeping it out of landfills. And 15,000 pounds of e-waste found in the buildings was recycled.

Some of the residence halls were repainted and recarpeted; work began on a new roof and other improvements to the University Center; and CSUMB took over three buildings that had been occupied by Golden Gate University. One of those buildings houses classrooms, one was assigned to the Kinesiology Department for an anatomy and physiology lab, and the third will be used for storage.

A Caterpillar tears into the remainder of a former barracks building that was deconstructed at the corner of Inter-Garrison Road and Seventh Avenue. The building was one of 70 former Army structures removed over the summer.
