Stanford in Redwood City marks a major milestone for the university.

The Redwood City Campus will reflect Stanfordâs spirit, mission and culture, as well as complement Redwood City's renaissance. The Redwood City Campus will be located on the site of the former Mid-Point Technology Park across from the Stanford Medicine Outpatient Center off Highway 101. The 35-acre site is five miles from the main campus. The campus will be developed in phases over time based on the ongoing needs of the university.
