The California Polytechnic School

Establishment and early years

edit

Cal Poly was founded in 1901 as the California Polytechnic School, following the signing of the California Polytechnic School Bill by GovernorHenry Gage.The school began classes on October 1, 1903, with 20 students enrolled, offering three-year secondary-level courses.[14]

Originallycoeducational,the school enrolled 16 male and 4 female students.[15]In 1929, California Governor C.C. Young prohibited women from attending.[16]Women were readmitted in 1956. By Fall 2023, female students constituted 50.1% of the total student population.[17]

Transition to higher education

edit

In 1924, Cal Poly came under the control of theCalifornia State Board of Education.During theGreat Depression,financial constraints led to discussions about converting Cal Poly into a state prison.[18]

In 1933, the institution transitioned to a two-yeartechnologicalandvocationalschool. By 1940, it began offering Bachelor of Arts degrees, with the first baccalaureate ceremony held in 1942. In 1947, the school was renamed California State Polytechnic College to better reflect its expanding higher education offerings. A Master of Arts degree in education was added in 1949.[19]

Expansion and satellite campuses

edit

In 1938, Charles andJerry Voorhisdonated a farm and school to the Cal Poly. In 1949, theW.K. Kellogg Foundationgifted an 812-acre horse ranch inPomona, California.Originally a satellite campus for Cal Poly, the Pomona campus became an independent university,Cal Poly Pomona,in 1966.

Integration into the CSU system

edit

In 1960, control of Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo and other state colleges was transferred to the newly formedCSUsystem. That same year,a plane crashkilled 22 of the 48 people on board, including 16 Cal Poly football players.[20]

Authorized to offer Master of Science degrees in 1967, Cal Poly reorganized its curriculum from 1967 to 1970 into specialized schools: the School of Science and Math, the School of Agriculture and Natural Resources, and the School of Architecture. In 1968, Cal Poly's FM radio station,KCPR,was launched as a senior project.

In 1971, theCalifornia State Legislatureofficially renamed the institutionCalifornia Polytechnic State University.Since the 1970s, the university has seen steady enrollment growth and significant campus expansion.

Major donations and 21st century developments

edit

On May 3, 2017, Cal Poly received a $110 million gift from alumni William L. and Linda Frost, one of the largest donations ever made to public education in California.[21]

21st century construction

edit

In the summer of 2018, a dormitory-style student community was completed at the corner of Slack Street and Grand Avenue. This development includes seven 3- to 5-story concrete-framed freshman residence hall buildings with 1,475 beds and an adjacent four-level parking structure. Community spaces feature a café, community room, game room, mail room, welcome center, offices, and maintenance shop. Additional site improvements provide a large open space for activities and group events, volleyball and basketball courts, and outdoor gathering areas.[25]

The Warren J. Baker Center for Science and Mathematics was dedicated on November 1, 2013.[26]This $119 million, six-story building replaced the aging “spider” Science Building 52 with a new 189,000-square-foot structure.[27]It includes laboratories, classrooms, offices for the physics, chemistry, and soil science programs, and spaces for the Western Coatings Technologies Center and the Environmental Biotechnology Institute. The center also features Centennial Park, a landscaped central green area.

Commuting

edit

Campus parking is limited, with 2,892 general-purpose parking spaces, 3,492 dorm resident spaces, and a total of 8,648 parking spaces.[28]The Facilities Master Plan acknowledges that, despite adding more parking spots, the ratio of parking to students will decrease due to expected enrollment growth.[29]To address this, the plan emphasizes reducing demand for individual vehicle parking by constructing additional dorms and enhancing campus life. Cal Poly Commuter and Access Services has successfully promoted alternatives to single occupancy vehicles, with bus use more than doubling and bicycle use nearly quadrupling from 2002 to 2012.[30]

As of 2024, there are over 7,000 bike rack spaces and 252 secure bike lockers on campus. In 2019, approximately 57% of students and 33% of faculty/staff lived within five miles of campus, facilitating easy bike commutes.[31]The city'sSLO Transitbus system provides service to and from campus. Cal Poly supports SLO Transit with funding from parking citation revenue, allowing faculty, staff, and students to ride for free.[31]The SLO Regional Transit Authority provides bus service throughout the county, with discounted passes available to the Cal Poly community.
