On Wednesday, the City of Chula Vista and state leaders joined dignitaries from San Diego state University and the Cal state University Board of Trustees to announce plans for a new Cinematic Arts Academic Center and Library, which would be located in the Millenia development in the Otay Ranch part of town.
Alvarez and Salas both said moving the SDSU cinematic program to Chula Vista in a new facility is a big first step towards building a much larger, four-year university in the South Bay. Chula Vista has been working for roughly 30 years to lure one to town. The city has already reserved 383 acres of land along the city’s east side for a future university site.“It will be a campus down here.
This is just the beginning,” added CSU Trustee Jack McGrory. “I would love to see an Institute for Mexican/American Relations here.”“We have maxed out on the Mesa right now,” he said.“I like to remind people when [Cal State] San Marcos got started. They started at a middle school,” smiled Alvarez.“The idea is to incubate the program here and eventually to grow into a bigger university,” concluded Mayor Salas.
