San Jose State University Campus Master Plan

San Jose State University Campus Master Plan

The Master Plan will serve as a long-range planning document that will guide the development and use of campus lands in Santa Clara County. The Master Plan sets out a vision for San José State University based on SJSU’s strategic plan, Transformation 2030, and anticipates the future space needs of the University by developing strategies for future growth. The Master Plan will address the development of the Main and South campuses and various separate SJSU-owned sites, including land use, site design, open space, circulation, buildings, and utility and other infrastructure. The Master Plan will identify the location, size, and type of needed academic facilities, housing, recreation and athletics facilities, and administrative and student support facilities to accommodate students seeking an education at SJSU and to meet the University’s research needs over the next two decades. SJSU projects enrollment to increase from 36,000 to 44,000 headcount students (from 25,000 full-time equivalent students (FTES) to 27,500 FTES) over the course of master plan buildout, with more than half of that growth in Special Sessions (i.e., academic programs provided to matriculated students on a self-support basis) and online enrollment. To meet SJSU’s future aspirations for academic programs and research, enrollment, student housing, and campus community, the Master Plan includes consideration of the need to renovate and replace existing facilities on-campus and to provide dense, sustainable, university-oriented development. To accomplish this, SJSU is projecting the approximately 4.3 million gsf of new, replacement and renovation space of on-campus facilities, primarily within the Main Campus.
