Cal Poly Partners Plaza - Spanos Stadium

Cal Poly Partners Plaza, the new 14,200-square-foot, tiered pavilion in the north end zone of Spanos Stadium, offers fans an immersive college athletics experience that is unique to Cal Poly. With three separate and distinct terraces, the plaza is home to an amazing field view that creates a continuous connection to the action on the field. The plaza and its distinct food, seating, and picnic area is available during the academic year, on weekdays, providing another welcoming space for Cal Poly community members to gather on the west side of campus.

Wallace Group worked in collaboration with Cal Poly, Maino Construction, and TenOver Studio to transform the north endzone of Spanos Stadium from an under-utilized, restricted space to a multi-level viewing plaza with a new concession area, turf play space, and landscaped pathways and picnic areas. Accessible pathways provide ADA access to all of levels of the plaza and connect to the adjacent east and west bleachers and the O’Neill Green grass area. The project also included new ADA parking spaces on California Blvd adjacent to the project site.

This project was also the recipient of two ASCE San Luis Obispo Branch awards in 2025. Receiving recognition in two categories, for Outstanding Community Improvement Project, and Outstanding Urban or Land Development Project.
