Redwood City Campus

Due to General Use Permit (GUP) limitations on core campus development, the university studied options for relocating administrative programs to off-campus sites, thus reserving core campus space for Stanford’s high academic priorities and objectives.

In September 2005, the university acquired the Mid-Point Technology Park (Mid-Point). Mid-Point is in Redwood City, approximately seven miles from the Stanford Campus. The site includes 536,569 gsf, which encompasses eight buildings on 34.85 acres. In addition, the Stanford Hospital and Clinics (SHC) acquired the adjacent parcel that includes approximately 360,000 gsf, encompassing four buildings on eleven acres, which have been developed for outpatient clinics.

The City Council of Redwood City adopted the University's conceptual master plan for the new campus on September 9, 2013, Stanford Report. Redevelopment of this site will be required but commencement of development has not been determined. There are many issues to be addressed, including the creation of a vision for the new campus, the program for the campus buildings, traffic, environmental and other community impacts, costs of site redevelopment, and phases of redevelopment over time.
