Encina Hall Renovation

Many of Stanford's international programs are currently located in the historic Encina Hall Complex. These include FSI, with its constituent centers, and the graduate program in International Policy Studies. But other important programs are dispersed across campus. Renovation of the Encina Complex will make it possible to house the offices of the new division of International Comparative and Area Studies (ICA), to expand FSI activities, to include programs such as the new Program on Global Justice, and to support joint projects as they evolve throughout the university, such as collaborations between FSI, ICA, and the graduate schools of business, law, and medicine.

The east and central wings of Encina Hall were renovated in 1997. Further plans include completing renovations to the hall's central underground level and the Encina Commons and remodeling the courtyard that connects the hall with the surrounding complex. By creating common offices, classrooms, conference areas, and collaborative spaces, the renewed Encina Complex will provide a gathering place for Stanford's entire international studies community—an essential means of fostering multidisciplinary research and teaching.
