Media advisory: SF State to break ground on first new academic building in 25 years

San Francisco State University will break ground on a new academic building for the College of Liberal & Creative Arts on Friday, Oct. 26, 2018. The $81 million project will house new Broadcast and Electronic Communication Arts (BECA) facilities including classrooms, a professional TV newsroom, the student radio station, an audio-recording studio and more.
