integrating the GGU community, and providing effective spaces for individuals, departments, and schools

that instill pride and inspire academic and professional success.

Strategic Guidance ReviewGuiding Principles Summary

5

• Design for the future faculty, staff, and students of GGU• Enhance and celebrate the unique specialization of GGU on Law, Taxation, Accounting, and Business education• Acknowledge and provide for the distinct needs of each and every student group/program cluster:

Brand and Identity

Technology and Relationships

• Maintain technology as an integral element of the learning environment• Engage in an inquiry about the relevancy of the “work anywhere” concept for GGU faculty, staff, and administration and

the “learn anywhere” concept for GGU students

• Leverage the excellent physical location of GGU to maximize student attraction and retention • Understand and define pedagogical and operational goals and priorities; then use them to answer questions about

physical space

Physical Space

Above all else, focus on the needs of the students.



Strategic Guidance ReviewBoundaries Summary

6

• Where possible, reduce costs

• Campus must be urban and proximate to Embarcadero and Montgomery BART and Muni stations, and the Transbay Terminal

• Programmatic needs must be accommodated within current building envelopes

• Design space for flexibility, shared use, and a feeling of openness and transparency while accommodating the need for confidentiality

• Enable the facilities to accommodate a variable range of faculty, staff, and students

• Provide classrooms to accommodate a range of class sizes (50 - 80 for lecture classes, an average of 22 for most, and as small as 10 for seminars)

• Maintain diversity of student population

• Provide space for adjunct faculty

• Use the criterion established in the San Francisco Remodel Plan Phases 1 through 10 as a guide

Space PlanningEmerging Themes and Opportunities

11

• Ecker Place invites a new connection for a stronger campus presence and identity

• Latent capacity in the instructional space inventory allows for consolidation to West Wing

• Absence of central “student commons” space invites new HUB on the first level

• Consolidation of instructional space to West Wing provides increased flexibility to better accommodate schools and departments on the East Side

• Book storage consolidation opens up space for the in-high-demand group study rooms and other student study spaces

• Latent capacity in instructional space also allows for provision of specialized space to support the Litigation Program and general lawyering skills
