“Santa Clara is on the cusp of monumental changes on campus. From building a new residence hall for incoming students to the construction of the state of the engineering and sciences campus, students coming to Santa Clara will be a part of a thriving intellectual and social community,” said Blanco Masias.
The Class of 2023 will be arriving at an exciting time on the Mission Campus:
The Sobrato Campus for Discovery and Innovation will be the new home for the Sciences, Engineering, and Mathematics. Built to foster convergence across traditional disciplines, and inspired by Jesuit ideals and Silicon Valley’s culture of collaboration and innovation, the campus will allow students to forge breakthroughs and help build a more humane, just, and sustainable world.
Finn Residence Hall, which will open fall 2019, constructs its communal life around the theme of well-being in the physical, emotional, and spiritual sense.
The redesigned Benson Center, SCU’s on-campus eatery and student center, has been renovated to create new spaces for gathering, studying, and community building.
The 50,000-square-foot Athletic Excellence Center, which will break ground next year, will help the next generation of Olympians, All-Americans, World Champions and Hall of Fame athletes from SCU.
