Good for SDSU academics. They needed to upgrade their engineering facilities. This should open the door for some notable professors to come here. I mean, who wouldn't want to teach in San Diego? Hopefully this will also enable the EE department to set up an alliance with Qualcomm, specifically for R&D projects. These are the kind of ties that gives a university recognition.

The building will be great. The interesting thing is that it is set up specifically for research. BTW, they are looking for a big donor to pay for replacing the existing building if anyone is interested.

These are definitely exciting times for SDSU, now if they could just renovate Love library, PSFA and build a new building just to house business administration separately from education.

And this is related to Aztecs sports how? its a response to those who don't believe SDSU has any resources to acquire the Q site and expand the campus or to build an on campus stadium.

Yeah - the LONG range plan was (maybe still is) to move all of CoE to a new Alvarado Road building. This has been talked about FOR YEARS. Foundation apparently still has plans to demolish all of the old Alvarado Med Ctr buildings and rebuild with classroom/office space and a parking structure - that would be right across the street from the proposed new CoE buildings. I have a feeling those projects might be ahead of a purchase of the current stadium lot - but probably anything can happen if the deal and the timing is right.

And this is related to Aztecs sports how? The academic side is important if we're ever considered to be invited to a major conference. If you think Boise State will be considered strictly for their football program then you have tunnel vision.

I disagree, the quality of the football team and their market are the most important things in gaining admittance into a larger conference. There are plenty of P5 schools that aren't good academically.

There are plenty of P5 schools that aren't good academically. Name one P5 school that has the same academic rating as Boise State. It's not even close. The market is secondary, we'd already be in one if it wasn't.

Case in point, if you build it- they will come!

The market is secondary, we'd already be in one if it wasn't. There are a lot of ways to rank schools "academically". The average GPA of incoming students at Boise last year was 3.43. Arizona State was at 3.46 and Washington State was at 3.29. So I would say Boise is a similar category as those schools. As far as acceptance percentage Boise is at 85%, Washington astate 78% and Arizona State 82%. Again, very similar.

I gave you hard stats to back up a point. I don't see anything from you. What the point of even having a conversation if that's your lame response. I think it's fairly evident that not every P5 school is "good" academically...you're just plain wrong dude, sorry to spoil your night.

This is great news! I had to spend 4.5 years of my life in the old building and I can testify that itbis a total dump...
I'm also excited as someone who owns a local engineering firm that perdominatly hires SDSU grads at the potential of students the new building will attract.

Oregon St. #138 tied with Washington St., San Diego St. is #149 and tied with 'Ole Miss -- ahead of #156 Mississippi St. & Texas Tech ... now find Boise St

you know what's even funnier? Boise St is ranked lower than both CSU Stanislaus and Humbolt St.
