Lobby and gathering areas inside Spartan Village on the Paseo, a new student housing tower for San Jose State University students, Aug. 14, 2024.SAN JOSE — An SJSU student housing village in a landmark downtown San Jose tower is poised to create a vibrant living space — and further deepen San Jose State University’s roots in the city’s urban core.
San Jose State University sophomore Angela Makihele is one of the new residents at Spartan Village on the Paseo, an SJSU student housing tower in downtown San Jose. “When you are in Spartan Village, you get that sense of vibrancy and connection with downtown San Jose, a sense of positive energy with the urban lifestyle,” Teniente-Matson said in an interview with this news organization.
“San Jose may be the heart of Silicon Valley, but SJSU is the heart of San Jose,” Mayor Matt Mahan said. “Our Spartans are proving once again they’ve got the innovative spirit inherent to our region by transforming what was once a hotel to housing for 700 students.” “Downtown San Jose is our campus,” said SJSU vice president for administration and finance Charlie Faas. “The students can not only live here, they can interact with the rest of the downtown. This all becomes our campus.”
“The dedication of the workers is amazing,” said SJSU senior associate vice president of facilities development and operations Traci Ferdolage. “People are working seven days a week and more than eight-hour days,” Ferdolage said. “They are devoted to San Jose and the university.” That sky bridge extends to the rest of the second floor, which will become a gathering hub for Spartan Village and offer food served up by a Spartan Cafe.
