- About Devcon: Devcon is responsible for the construction of most of the new dorm/apartment buildings. Although these were done before the LRDP was developed they represent a general trend toward increasing the student population and developing the remaining natural areas on campus. Besides, they bring in a great deal of money to UCSC, which allows the cycle of perpetual growth to continue. In addition to campus development, they were also slated to partner with Cisco Systems to develop the enormous Coyote Valley Research Park, south of San Jose, which would have destroyed an immense amount of prairie and agricultural land. It also would likely have had a very detrimental effect on local housing prices and transportation because it would be close to Santa Cruz and Watsonville. Fortunately, however, the dot-com bust put a damper on Cisco and Devcon's plans, but they may be revived in the future.
Filizetti joined Devcon in 1980 and served as Vice President in charge of Estimating and Construction until his appointment as President in 1986. Over the years, he has been directly involved in the construction of more than twenty million square feet of tenant improvement work and over thirty million square feet of building shells including major facilities for Cisco Systems, Inc., Adobe Systems, SGI, Yahoo! and Network Appliance. Specialized construction projects include a state-of-the-art training facility for the San Francisco Forty-Niners football team and the San Jose Jet Center, a privately owned and operated airport facility accommodating both private and corporate aircraft.

Strategic Futures Committee
The committee was appointed in 2003 and was given the task of legitimizing the campus’ desire for growth (i.e. “articulating the academic rationale and principles associated with growth”). They are the ones responsible for deciding on future enrollment goals that shape the LRDP. They also decided upon what buildings and infrastructure would then be needed for this growth. Their “final report” was made public in June of 2004 and came with a suggestion that the committee’s role not end there, but continue on to instruct the University on growth issues.
