1. ACCJC Substantive Change Request: Relocation From Middlefield (Palo Alto) to the Sunnyvale Center (Sunnyvale) Summary Presentation to PaRC Andrew LaManque February 17, 2016

2. Concise description of the proposed change and the reasons for it Foothill College requests continued accreditation status for the relocation of its established educational center from its current location in Palo Alto to a site in nearby Sunnyvale, with operations beginning at the new location in the fall quarter of 2016. The Board has reviewed several research studies over the years that have indicated a need for a facility in the northern part of the district along the highway101 and light rail transportation corridor. This change of address will allow the center to serve students in a modern facility owned by the district. 2/17/20162Sunnyvale Center Substantive Change

4. Rationale for the change including but not limited to labor market analysis Changing the Center’s location will address the instability of a leased site and better accommodate the changing needs of our student population. The Onizuka site is close to population growth areas and the source of much of Foothill‐De Anza’s current student population. The site is located in an attractive area in Moffett Business Park, a dynamic and growing part of Sunnyvale with access and proximity to key employers in the region. 2/17/20164Sunnyvale Center Substantive Change
