Sunnyvale Center Substantive Change 2

Concise description of the proposed change and the reasons for it

• Foothill College requests continued accreditation status for the relocation of its established educational center from its current location in Palo Alto to a site in nearby Sunnyvale, with operations beginning at the new location in the fall quarter of 2016.

• The Board has reviewed several research studies over the years that have indicated a need for a facility in the northern part of the district along the highway101 and light rail transportation corridor.

• This change of address will allow the center to serve students in a modern facility owned by the district.

Rationale for the change including but not limited to labor market analysis

Changing the Center’s location will address the instability of a leased site and better accommodate the changing needs of our student population.

The Onizuka site is close to population growth areas and the source of much of Foothill De Anza’s ‐current student population. The site is located in an attractive area in Moffett Business Park, a dynamic and growing part of Sunnyvale with access and proximity to key employers in the region.

The change’s relationship to the institution’s planning, evaluation, and stated mission

• The Sunnyvale Center will play a significant role in helping the college achieve the Foothill College Master Plan (February 2016) strategies, including: – “A2. Reduce barriers and facilitate students’ ease of access

across the District and region.– A5. Partner with business and industry to prepare students

for the workforce.”• Instructional and student services planning is focused

on increasing access and success for underserved students in the careers and transfer pathways more represented and needed in Silicon Valley.
