High school geography project, justify location for new Stanford campus? We?
This geography project is about finding the best location for a second Stanford campus. The options are Las Vegas, Orlando, or Minneapolis
I am leaning towards Orlando because of the opportunities available in the city with connections to both the entertainment and aerospace industry (30 miles from Kennedy space center). It could offer an unparalleled astronomy program, aerospace engineering, computer science, planetary sciences, physics and in the future when space launches get cheaper even offer opportunities for Stanford students to study in space,
The other programs that could potentially do well in Orlando would be
Architecture
Mechanical Engineering - amusement parks, dosney imagoneering
Animation- Disney
Contemporary Vocal Music - one of a kind program offered by no other university, education for future pop stars
Theatre Arts for Film - theatre arts degree taylored for future movie actors
There is also a push for more tech industry along the I4 corridor and a new Stanford campus could fit well here? There are also no competing world class private universities in Orlando.
A program in special effects design would also work well in Orlando as there are many shows in the area.
It is also on the opposite side of the country as the main Stanford campus and would give Stanford teams the option of playing out of conference exhibition games against SEC or big East schools.
The proximity to cruise lines in port canaveral could make for a good maratime science program and oceanography would also be a potential academic program. The location of Orlando close to tropical weather could make a good meteorology program.
Also rock electric guitar could be a major
And we could offer rock drum as a major
The idea is for a futuristic campus designed in a style different from Stanford California but still have a Stanford feel
