The recent ribbon-cutting ceremony at the Mustang Business Park marked a significant milestone as the campus moves closer to meeting Master Plan goals.
Mustang Business Park, the university’s first off-campus administrative facility, will move 150 professional staff from campus and open 50,000 square feet of student-serving space in the campus core.
This will enable the campus community to expand over the next decade in alignment with the Master Plan.
The ribbon cutting event, featuring Cal Poly President Jeffrey Armstrong, Cal Poly Partners CEO Cody VanDorn, and A&F Senior Vice President Allison Baird-James, celebrated the opening of a new, state-of-the-art facility.
With over 46,000 square feet spread across two stories, this new building offers free parking for staff and expands the campus's capacity to support student needs and academic programs.
Mustang Business Park will house staff members from across the university including Emergency Management, Budget and Fiscal Planning, the Office of the Registrar, Cal Poly Partners and others.
This move will free up approximately 50,000 square feet in the campus core, creating more room for student-facing services. Furthermore, this facility represents a forward-thinking approach to workspace design, with flexible layouts that support both quiet, heads-down work and collaborative, creative efforts.
This expansion aligns with Cal Poly's 2035 Master Plan, emphasizing long-term growth and improved support for students, faculty, and staff.
