Santa Clara University

The University is located on a 106-acre campus in the city of Santa Clara near the
southern end of the San Francisco Bay in one of the world’s great cultural centers and
in the heart of the Silicon Valley.

At the campus center is the Mission Church, restored in 1928 and surrounded by
the roses and palm and olive trees of the historic Mission Gardens. The adjacent Adobe
Lodge is the oldest building on campus. Restored in 1981 to its 1822 decor, the lodge
contains a presidential dining room as well as central and private dining facilities for
faculty and staff.

The more than 50 buildings on campus include 13 residence halls, two libraries,
a student center, the Ricard Observatory, the de Saisset Museum, Mayer Theatre, and
extensive athletic facilities. In recent years, the University completed a $68 million
construction program, including new science laboratories, a performing arts center,
arts and sciences classrooms and offices, a recreation and fitness center, a residential
learning complex for juniors and seniors, a baseball stadium, a new facilities/support
services building, and a parking structure.

Computer and telecommunications technology is an integral part of the life and
learning at Santa Clara University. All residence hall rooms and most classrooms are
connected to high-speed Internet access and campus e-mail.
