"We believe this moment offers a unique opportunity to reimagine our university: how to address the changing preference of students and faculty for hybrid and remote learning; how our use of space can adapt to meet these evolving preferences; and what our San Francisco and global footprint should be in a post-pandemic world," said GGU President David Fike at the time.
Despite the plans for redevelopment and rezoning height allowances, GGU faced challenges when the property was put up for sale, as the downtown office market had bottomed out, leading to a lack of interest.
Enrollment numbers at GGU have increased significantly, largely due to the introduction of online classes, rising from 3,281 students in 2019 to 5,220 students in the last academic year.
Although GGU is now experiencing a surge in student enrollment, the university is still utilizing less than one-third of the space available in their 210,000-square-foot building.
