Tenancy Criteria
To stay true to the Tech Park’s vision, potential tenants should be technology-based with a focus complementary to Cal Poly’s technical programs and demonstrate how the campus location and access to students and faculty will benefit both the Tech Park tenant and the university. A significant aspect of the tenant’s operation should be applied research and workforce development. The scope of R&D activities in the park will ideally represent a broad array of technology areas that draw from Cal Poly’s curricular strengths and faculty expertise.
Tech Park Expansion
The newly completed 16,200-square-foot expansion increased the propriety space available to university partners and further aligns the university’s mission of student success with workforce and innovation needs. The long-term plan is to expand the park into a 120,000-square-foot campus that will further enable, encourage and facilitate innovation in an interdisciplinary environment that brings together students, faculty and strategic partners.
