Foothill College, Community College in Los Altos Hills, Vereinigte Staaten
Foothill College is a community college located in Los Altos Hills that serves students across the San Francisco Bay Area with contemporary educational buildings and resources. The institution offers educational programs through both physical facilities and online platforms to accommodate different learning styles and schedules.
The college opened in 1957 as part of a district created to expand higher education opportunities in the Bay Area region. The campus was built using contemporary architectural principles that reflected educational approaches of the mid-20th century.
The campus architecture incorporates elements of Japanese garden design through the work of architects Ernest Kump and landscape specialists Hideo Sasaki and Peter Walker.
Visitors can explore the campus by walking through the grounds to see the educational facilities and outdoor spaces designed by renowned architects and landscape designers. The college welcomes guests during regular operating hours, though contacting ahead is recommended to plan your visit around classes and events.
A concrete owl from the original Highway School building serves as the mascot symbol and was relocated to the current campus location when the college opened. This small sculpture represents a connection between the institution's roots and its continuing mission in the community.
