Guiding Principles Summary
Brand and Identity
• Design for the future faculty, staff, and students of GGU
• Enhance and celebrate the unique specialization of GGU on Law, Taxation, Accounting, and Business education
• Acknowledge and provide for the distinct needs of each and every student group/program cluster:
Technology and Relationships
• Maintain technology as an integral element of the learning environment
• Engage in an inquiry about the relevancy of the “work anywhere” concept for GGU faculty, staff, and administration and
the “learn anywhere” concept for GGU students
Physical Space
• Leverage the excellent physical location of GGU to maximize student attraction and retention
• Understand and define pedagogical and operational goals and priorities; then use them to answer questions about
physical space
Above all else, focus on the needs of the students.

6. Strategic Guidance Review
Boundaries Summary
• Where possible, reduce costs
• Campus must be urban and proximate to Embarcadero and Montgomery BART and Muni stations, and the
Transbay Terminal
• Programmatic needs must be accommodated within current building envelopes
• Design space for flexibility, shared use, and a feeling of openness and transparency while accommodating the need
for confidentiality
• Enable the facilities to accommodate a variable range of faculty, staff, and students
• Provide classrooms to accommodate a range of class sizes (50 - 80 for lecture classes, an average of 22 for most,
and as small as 10 for seminars)
• Maintain diversity of student population
• Provide space for adjunct faculty
• Use the criterion established in the San Francisco Remodel Plan Phases 1 through 10 as a guide

11. Space Planning
Emerging Themes and Opportunities
• Ecker Place invites a new connection for a stronger campus presence and identity
• Latent capacity in the instructional space inventory allows for consolidation to West
Wing
• Absence of central “student commons” space invites new HUB on the first level
• Consolidation of instructional space to West Wing provides increased flexibility to better
accommodate schools and departments on the East Side
• Book storage consolidation opens up space for the in-high-demand group study rooms
and other student study spaces
• Latent capacity in instructional space also allows for provision of specialized space to
support the Litigation Program and general lawyering skills
