Tennessee's elite #Vanderbilt University is taking over a #SanFrancisco art school campus and erecting a #WestCoast edu site to serve 1000 prospective students. The deal for the art school site apparently finishes off the storied California #College of Arts and Crafts (#CCAC), ending it's role as a degree‑granting college institution which started 1907 in #Berkeley and moved to #Oakland in 1922 before building #SF's lower #PotreroHill campus in the 21st Century.

Vanderbilt University to establish full-time academic campus in San Francisco
Vanderbilt University today announced plans to establish an academic campus in San Francisco beginning in 2027, subject to necessary regulatory approvals. This is a significant expansion of the university’s national presence and reinforces its commitment to innovative education, interdisciplinary collaboration and global engagement. The planned San Francisco campus expects to serve about 1,000 undergraduate and graduate students and support sustained faculty, staff and academic activity. It represents the next step in Vanderbilt’s strategic growth and builds on the university’s recent expansions in New York City and West Palm Beach by extending Vanderbilt’s distinctive academic model into one of the world’s leading centers of creativity, technology and entrepreneurship.
