[edit] Permanent Campus at Cordova Hills

In June of 2007, the University of Sacramento purchased 200 acres (0.81 km²) of land in the Cordova Hills area, just east of the former Mather Air Force Base. The university plans to break ground in 2010 and complete a phased construction process by 2012. Once the campus is complete, the University plans to have a student body of 5,000 undergraduate and 2,000 graduate students.
