San Jose, Calif.
A proposed office-classroom development at San Jose State University is being postponed due to an economic crunch. The $380 million, 5.5-acre project would have included commercial office space and 250,000 sf of adjacent classrooms, laboratories, and staff offices. In an attempt to convert its valuable downtown land into superior staff and student facilities, SJSU would have leased on-campus office space to finance further construction. The university has hired Alameda, Calif., firm SRM Associates as a consultant for the project's future development.
