In determining the site of our new building, our goal has been to strengthen The Stanford Daily's bonds with the campus community as a whole, as well as provide a secure and centralized location for our staffers.
Increased Work Space
The building will be two stories and offer the newspaper approximately 5,000 square of office space, providing an approximately 20% increase over The Stanford Daily's current office space. This will allow for individual offices for each editorial department, as well as other important amenities such as conference rooms and a kitchen area. The Daily is working with the university to implement an environmentally friendly heating and cooling system.
Location, Location, Location
The location of the building will be along Panama Mall right behind the newly renovated Old Union Complex. This site, located right in the heart of Stanford, will provide a visible location that is safe and easily accessible from all parts of campus. A new building will create a buzz around the newspaper, making it a beacon of opportunity on Stanford's campus. As the university reworks Panama Mall to make it into a thoroughfare for people moving from east to west campus, the energy and activity in this area will only increase.
The Look and Feel of Stanford
The Stanford Daily's new home will incorporate the classic red-roof architecture of Stanford and the aesthetic look of nearby Panama Mall buildings.
