California University of Pennsylvania (commonly referred to as Cal U) is a public
university located in California, Pennsylvania, USA. Founded in 1852, it is a
member of the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education. Cal U's enrollment
is approximately 8,200. The main campus consists of 38 buildings situated on 90 acres (364,000 m²). An additional 98 acre (397,000 m²) recreation complex, George H. Roadman University Park, is located one mile from campus and includes a football stadium, various sports facilities, and picnic facilities. Cal U has satellite campuses in Canonsburg and in the Regional Enterprise Tower (Alcoa Building) in Pittsburgh. Cal U. traces its roots back to 1852, when the fledgling community of California spent tax dollars and donations to create an Academy for kindergarten through college-level courses. In 1864 it purchased 10 acres and moved to what is now the center of its present location, and a year later the school received a charter to be a normal school. In 1874, the institution was renamed SouthWestern Normal School and in 1914 Pennsylvania bought the school, renaming it the California State Normal School and converted it into a 2-year institute for training of elementary school teachers. |

California University has recently received massive state and private grants to rebuild
the campus. Since 2000, five new residence halls have been completed, each
with private bathrooms, and a sixth is set to open for the 2007-08 school year.
Off campus, Cal U has apartment-like housing at the Jefferson @ California
complex all which have been made possible through the generosity and dedication
of the Student Association, Inc. to the Students of California. The Eberly Science and Technology Center opened in 1999, while the new Duda Hall (which replaced the original Duda World Cultures Building) opened in 2007. Steele Auditorium is currently undergoing a major renovation and expansion project and is slated to open Fall 2007. |
