Cal Poly Corporation recently closed on the purchase of a new off-campus building and has partnered with Gensler, a global architecture, design, and planning firm, to research the best use of the space.
The facility will enable the campus community to expand over the next decade in alignment with the 2035 Master Plan and will create the opportunity to increase classroom spaces in the university core.
Cal Poly Mustang Business Park at 4800 Morabito Place, offers 46,000 square feet of workspace over two stories as well as a 3,800 square foot video production studio that features a two-story tall green screen.
Originally built in 2013 as the home of Rosetta Marketing Group, the facility will offer staff several upgrades and benefits, including: free parking, technology upgrades, more flexibility with hoteling space and the ability to come and go, easy access to San Luis Obispo County Regional Airport, a full kitchen alongside large meeting and collaboration spaces.
Planning and programing work for the facility has been underway since last spring. A project working group has been formed and is tasked with creating a plan and pathway forward for the building to ensure that a thoughtful approach is taken, and every available avenue is researched.
Results of the 14-week study will be announced soon. The project completion date is estimated for early 2024.
