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.
