Foothill College, Los Altos
Additional Details:
Located at interstate 280 and El Monte Road, Foothill College occupies 12 acres of two original spanis land grants. The main campus buildings, grouped on a traffic-free plateau encircled by a loop road, are of "Pacific" architecture, blending old brick, redwood, massive concrete piers, and hipped shake roofs. A foot-bridge ties ties the main academic circle to a second mesa accommodating the physical education facilities. More than 100 native oaks are preserved and supplemented with indigenous plantings.
