Future Projects

Bioengineering and Chemical Engineering

School: Engineering and Medicine

The Bioengineering and Chemical Engineering building (BioE/ChemE) will be the last of the four buildings to be constructed as part of the second phase of the Science and Engineering Quad (SEQ 2).  The other buildings include the Jerry Yang and Akiko Yamazaki Environment and Energy Building (Y2E2), the Jen-Hsun Huang Engineering Center (SOEC), and the Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology (Nano Center).  Bioengineers and chemical engineers will share space under one roof in the BioE/ChemE building, bringing the talents of these two departments together in collaborative research between the Schools of Medicine and Engineering and beyond.  The new facility will offer specialized labs, faculty and student offices, and shared teaching facilities and research equipment.

Biology Building

School: Humanities and Sciences

This building is part of Stanford’s Science, Engineering and Medical Campus (SEMC) Initiative.  In addition to Biology, the SEMC consists of seven other buildings including the above SEQ 2 buildings and the Li Ka Shing Center for Learning and Knowledge (LKSC), the Lorry I. Lokey Stem Cell Research Building (SIM 1), and the Physics and Astrophysics building.  The Biology building will be located between the Gates Computer Science and the Mudd Chemistry buildings, and will provide shared spaces for collaboration, innovative instrumentation, and laboratories for students, faculty and research staff.

Art Building

School: Humanities and Sciences

A plan is in place to move the Art and Art History Department (including the new Film and Media Studies Program) to a new facility on the site of the Old Anatomy building adjacent to the Cantor Arts Center.  This will provide much needed space in a location contiguous to the Stanford Museum and will encourage multidisciplinary collaboration between the Departments of Art History, Visual Arts (sculpture, painting), Studio Art, and Media/Film and Film Studies.  The project will include space for faculty offices, studios, classrooms, and the arts library.

Upon completion of the new facility, the Art Department will relinquish its current space in the 54,225 gsf Nathan Cummings Art Building.

Redwood City Campus Master Plan, Phase 1

Department: President/Provost (PRES/PROV)

Due to GUP limitations on core campus development, the University studied options for relocating administrative organizations to off-campus sites, thus reserving core campus space for Stanford's highest academic priorities and objectives. In September 2005, the University acquired the Mid-Point Technology Park (mid-Point) in Redwood City. The site is about 7 miles from the Stanford Campus. The total site includes 536,569 gsf, which encompasses eight buildings on 29.4 acres. In addition, the Stanford Hospitals and Clinics acquired the adjacent parcel totaling 360,000 gsf (four buildings on 11 acres). The Stanford Hospital and Clinics are currently constructing an outpatient clinic using four existing buildings on the site.

A conceptual master plan for the construction of a new campus to be located in Redwood City, located between Highway 101, Douglas Avenue, Bay Road, and 2nd Avenue in Redwood City is under way. The site will be built out in phases over time, depending on Stanford's needs. There are currently approximately 500,000 sf of identified space needs for the site planned for Phase 1 of the project. The objective is to create a satellite campus to the main Stanford campus that will accommodate non-academic user groups not required to be on the main campus. The new buildings are envisioned to be Class A office, research, and clinical space with significant sustainable features incorporated throughout the project. Creating outdoor open space will also be a key priority, as will be integrating the campus into the neighboring communities. Programmed amenities, such as a community center, fitness center, conference center, child care, and dining will be considered in the long range planning. In addition to the buildings, a number of parking structures will be constructed that will include approximately 4,300 parking spaces to accommodate the full buildout.

The concept design responds to guiding principles and objectives that will enrich and carry forward the existing Stanford culture, as well as offer benefits to the surrounding community. The campus should serve as a catalyst for the neighborhood and blend a combination of inward focused spaces and an outward face to the community. The campus will also bring with it a sense of ‘higher purpose'; a culture that reminds those on campus that they contribute to something important to Stanford University as a whole. The project will also set an example of Stanford's commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainability. High performance strategies for the structures and landscape, coupled with an aggressive transportation management program, will demonstrate responsible stewardship of the site and community.
