As Silicon Valley's innovation economy expands into new sectors — AI, autonomous vehicles, robotics, semiconductors, and energy — Gensler San Jose brings tech-sector design experience and the resources of the world's largest architecture firm to support these emerging industries. We also have a long history designing for hospitality, retail, higher education, healthcare, and aviation.

We have designed many higher education facilities including work for San Jose State University and Mission College. For higher education, in Silicon Valley and the larger Bay Area, we know these facilities directly affect the future of the innovation economy. With that in mind, our goal is to design spaces that best support students and foster environments where research, learning, and industry converge.

Building Transformation and Adaptive Reuse is one of Gensler's core practices. In Silicon Valley, where aging office stock is increasingly being reimagined for new uses, Gensler San Jose helps clients evaluate and execute high-impact building transformations locally.

Sustainable design is central to how Gensler San Jose approaches every project. Firmwide, Gensler is committed to a net zero future for clients, communities, and the industry — an effort anchored by the Gensler Cities Climate Challenge, our roadmap to help clients meet their carbon goals. Locally, Gensler San Jose has delivered 37 LEED-certified projects for Silicon Valley clients, reflecting our commitment to resilient, high-performing design across every sector we serve.
