What are some key features that differentiate the new buildings from the old?
There will be a blending of the indoor and outdoor spaces and opportunities for people to move between them, and we are promoting ways our constituencies use our existing facilities to help them create highly interactive spaces in our new site. The entrepreneurial spirit that characterizes Stanford, the GSB, and Silicon Valley will be evident to everyone who visits our new buildings. In addition: • The Knight Management Center is 80,000 square feet larger than the existing GSB facilities, totaling 360,000 square feet for our new home. • We will have: – More breakout rooms and conference rooms for use by students, faculty, and staff. – Fewer traditional case discussion rooms that hold 60-70 students and more rooms for larger or substantially smaller groups. – Smaller and fewer private offices for staff and more open seating as called for in the new Stanford space guidelines. • A new approach to space utilization in the library with more traditional library materials being stored offsite
