On Friday the Associated Students Incorporated met to discuss campus issues concerning sprinklers and the situation with construction projects on campus, including the delay of the planned hotel and conference center.

During the campus issues part of the meeting ASI President Derek Stotler addressed Mike Kwon, ASI Executive Vice President, to discuss the sprinkler issue that occurred last Sunday, when broken sprinklers outside of the Modular East building were flooding the parking lot.

There are two staff that check on the sprinklers, totaling around 1400, every two to three weeks.

There has been an initiative filed with facilities to create a “#greencsub” for students allowing them to bring attention to inoperable things like sprinklers to the facilities department.
Vice President of External Affairs Ricardo Perez said, “Remember there are people trying to fix [things].”

One reason for the water waste and all the broken sprinklers occurring on campus according to Stotler, “They brought in a third water line causing more pressure and over spray going to every sprinkler with 1,200 plus to adjust.”

The ASI board has established that the new dorms are now 96 percent completed. A fire marshal will be checking the building within the week. The dorms are set to be open and ready for people to move in the second week of January.

The campus garden that has been scheduled may be put in where FACT is after its closing.

The CSUB Hotel and Conference center has been paused.

ASI meets every Friday at 3:15, in the Business Development Center room 155B.
