Vanderbilt University announced plans to establish an academic campus in San Francisco beginning in 2027, subject to necessary regulatory approvals. This is a significant expansion of the university’s national presence and reinforces its commitment to innovative education, interdisciplinary collaboration and global engagement.
Vanderbilt’s planned San Francisco campus expects to serve about 1,000 undergraduate and graduate students and support sustained faculty, staff and academic activity. It represents the next step in Vanderbilt’s strategic growth and builds on the university’s recent expansions in New York City and West Palm Beach by extending Vanderbilt’s distinctive academic model into one of the world’s leading centers of creativity, technology and entrepreneurship.
Vanderbilt and the California College of the Arts have agreed for Vanderbilt to acquire the campus of CCA after the wind-down of CCA’s operations in 2027, subject to regulatory and transactional requirements. This path enables the location to be a center for academic innovation after CCA closes, and for Vanderbilt to honor CCA’s century-long legacy in the Bay Area in numerous ways—including plans to operate a California College of the Arts Institute at Vanderbilt, which will include the Wattis Institute of Contemporary Arts.
