New Websites Launched
As students and staff browse through California State University, Long Beach’s website, they can now check out the campus’ new Sustainability and BUILD sites that launched last week.
The Sustainability and BUILD pages have been built on the university’s new web platform and are consistent with the look and feel of the school’s updated digital presence. The content has been streamlined and refreshed to help people easily access the latest and most useful information.
“We are really pleased with the final result,” said Sustainability Coordinator Holli Fajack. “There are still a few more elements we want to add down the road that will make the website more dynamic, but overall the website is cooler than we thought it could ever be when we first started this journey a few years ago.”
Sustainability, a campus-wide effort focusing on preserving the environment and reducing our reliance on fossil based fuels, now has one central place to learn about all of the things that are happening at CSULB to promote and achieve sustainability through its new website. For instance, if a student wants to learn what specific facilities, such as ASI or Parking and Transportation, are doing on campus to promote sustainability, the student will be able to find out on the new site.
“As you will see when you visit the website, sustainability is a thread that weaves through almost everything happening here at CSULB and it is only possible when faculty, staff, students and administrators work together,” Fajack said.
BUILD (Building Infrastructure Leading to Diversity) is a federally-funded program that offers intensive research-training opportunities for undergraduate students interested in pursuing careers in biomedical research, has also developed a cleaner, elegant look to its new site. Some of the features of the new site include large-image sliders and the ability to resize itself on different devices.
Jessica Miller, BUILD graphic artist and coordinator, was a part of the process in creating the website by collaborating with CSULB’s Office of Marketing and Communications in regards to the needs and wants of the BUILD leadership team.
“I’m happy that BUILD is using the same Drupal platform and template as CSULB because we now have a cohesive look with the university,” Miller said.
