Palo Alto College: A Place of Innovation

Following Palo Alto’s humble beginning, Bexar County voters—through a bond issue—made pos-sible the construction of a $13 million campus for 2,500 students. The original complex consisted of 26 classrooms in 11 buildings, including a 15,000-square-foot learning resources center. The mission-style campus opened its doors in January 1987 in southern Bexar County. Its physical outline is inspired by 18th century mission architecture, principally by Mission San José’s cupola, façade, and its granary’s distinctive cylindrical shape. Adorned tiles embedded in buildings throughout campus convey and reaffirm the spirit of Spanish Colonial architecture. In 1989, the college achieved full ac-creditation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.

Founded on the belief that education is the central element of improving lives, Palo Alto College continues to be an institution of high academic standards. It serves a growing student body of 8,335 in the Fall of 2009 with an increasingly diverse curriculum that features two-year course plans in the arts and sciences as well as many technical occupational and workforce programs. Through Palo Alto, students can earn certificates or complete the first two years of a four-year degree plan for transfer to a university. The college is continually receiving accolades from four-year universities commenting on the high caliber of preparation the students who transfer have attained.

Growth is reflected daily in the construction of new facilities for classrooms, sports and recreation. To-day, the college encompasses more than 465,750 square feet on 126 acres. The San Jacinto Hall (for-merly General Education Building) opened in January 1991, doubling the original classroom space on campus. A Natatorium/Gymnasium Complex opened in January 1992 in partnership with the City of San Antonio. The George Ozuna Jr. Learning Resources & Academic Computing Center opened in August 1997, adding one-third to the existing square footage of the college.

In October 2001 the Ray Ellison Family Center opened, offering childcare to students and the com-munity at large, and in 2005, Sabine Hall (formerly the Applied Science and Technology Center), funded in part by the U.S. Commerce Department’s Economic Development Administration, opened.

A new chapter in the College’s history began in the Fall 2005, when it opened a high school on cam-pus. The Gateway to College Program, a national model developed by Portland Community College opened its doors in August 2005 to 36 students. Youth who left school without earning a high school

Palo Alto College was founded March 19, 1983. Classes began in September 1985 with an attendance of 231 stu-dents dispersed in high schools and military installations. The administrative offices were located at Billy Mitchell Village, outside Kelly Air Force Base. Palo Alto’s prior-ity has always been the students, never its buildings. Palo Alto’s educational outreach extends beyond the campus with many courses offered in off-campus locations. In 1993, Palo Alto College stated clearly its commitment to the community by establishing “the heart of the com-munity” as its official slogan.



diploma will have the opportunity to gain a high school diploma while earning college credit at Palo Alto College free of charge. The Gateway to College program currently serves over 170 students from 11 school districts.

With Bexar County’s passage of the November 2005 ACCD Capital Improvement Bond, Palo Alto College will experience unparalleled physical growth. In January 2008, the college opened its $5.2 million Veterinary Technology Building to serve the only program of its kind in the region. The bond also provided a $14.7 million Performing Arts Center, a culural gem of the Southside. The building houses a 400-seat theater, speech and drama classrooms, dance and recording studios, a recital hall, and a scene shop. The $13.9 million Brazos Hall (formerly the Science and Workforce Building) houses biology, physics, geology, government, and history classrooms; computer labs; Allied Health and EMT classrooms. It opened in the Fall 2009.

Today, Palo Alto College strives to take into account cultural differences as well as contemporary aca-demic needs. As it approaches its 25th Anniversary, Palo Alto College continues to make a difference, always moving forward and always sharing its campus and its resources to improve San Antonio’s growing community.
