Alliant's San Francisco Campus, opened in fall 2004, offers 17 classrooms, two teleconference facilities, two computer labs, a student lounge, a staff/faculty lounge, research space, and a gracious Alumni Reading Room. It provides 10,000 square feet for classrooms, 9,000 square feet for the library and another 12,000 square feet for faculty and staff offices and student service space. The campus occupies two floors of a beautifully renovated, historic building (landmark #135, National Historic Register of San Francisco). The building was built in 1924 for the Otis Elevator Company and constructed so that railroad cars could enter the building for loading. The Hurwich Library, boasting an extensive psychology and education collection, is the centerpiece of the campus. (Stacks shown at left.) The campus is located on the waterfront. Across the street, you’ll find the restaurants and amusements of Pier 39. (The Student Government Association has arranged for discounts at local restaurants, coffee bars, hotels, and other attractions.)

Massive cruise ships occupy docks that once berthed freighters. A stroll along the namesake Herb Caen Walk skirts San Francisco Bay with flowering gardens, outdoor sculpture and conversation coves along the way. A mile's walk, past piers bustling with design firms, DNA research firms, architect's offices and other businesses brings you to the renovated Ferry Plaza. The building hosts a farmer's market, coffee bars, natural and gourmet food boutiques and restaurants, and offers commuter ferry boats embarking for the East Bay. 

The Ferry Plaza is the center of a transit hub that reaches out to the Greater Bay Area - an area that offers special advantages to psychology and education students who are interested in cultural diversity. Organizational development students appreciate the location because San Francisco is home to 20 firms listed in the Fortune 100 and because the region's diversified economy spans finance, legal services, high technology, advertising and design, tourism and education, providing an ideal laboratory for practitioner-oriented field work.
