CSUSB Palm Desert Campus Student Success Center beams are in place, construction ahead of schedule

PALM DESERT, Calif. (KESQ) - A major milestone at Cal State San Bernardino's Palm Desert Campus on Tuesday - Leaders celebrated the topping off of the new Student Success Center.

The Center is the first state-funded facility on campus and is currently ahead of schedule, with plans to open in 2027.

Many attended the ceremony, and each had the chance to sign the final steel beam before it was lifted into place.

Campus leaders shared their excitement, saying the new building will expand services for both current and future students to come. "This is an important building for our students for the future. We don't have a living room like this yet on this campus, so we're really pleased. Students of the future are going to have a really wonderful place to come be part of this campus. We're very thrilled," said VP for Advancement Ray Watts.

The new building will include an advising and tutoring center, career center, and an expanded campus library.
