Vanderbilt University plans to open a new campus in San Francisco in time for the 2027-28 academic year.
Why it matters: The San Francisco campus will have capacity for about 1,000 undergraduate and graduate students, along with full-time faculty and staff.
Zoom in: Vanderbilt inked a deal to acquire the California College of the Arts campus after it winds down operations in 2027. Some regulatory and transactional requirements are still pending.
The big picture: Vanderbilt's ambitious expansion plans also include new campuses in New York and West Palm Beach, Fla.
