Engineering Plaza

Leading the Nation with Advanced Facilities

College of Engineering alumni, industry partners, and current students and faculty have a very special place to meet at Cal Poly: the Engineering Plaza.

Located in the core of a consolidated engineering campus in the northwest sector of the university, the Engineering Plaza serves as the heart of Cal Poly's world-renowned engineering programs. Facilities surrounding the plaza include the Advanced Technologies Laboratories, the Bonderson Projects Center and Engineering IV.

Engineering IV, the new State-financed facility, along with the privately-built Bonderson Projects Center, will ensure that the College of Engineering maintains its vital role as a technology leader.

In order to create a space that is uniquely "engineering" in character, award-winning landscape architect, Jeffery Gordon Smith (Landscape Architecture '89) has prepared a design based on the Fibonacci Sequence, a mathematical expression that describes a place of beginnings that spirals out infinitely.

“I really appreciate the opportunities Cal Poly has given me. ”

I'm a manager of CubeSat, the program that builds and launches satellites. It was surreal the night our Polysats were launched into orbit. We sat listening by the phone with our fingers crossed and everyone erupted into cheers when the CubeSats made orbit. It was so great to realize all the hard work paid off.
