NOTE: Data presented on this website originates primarily from internal Stanford University departments, including the Office of Community Engagement, Land, Buildings & Real Estate, Business Affairs, the Office of Technology Licensing, University Human Resources, and others. Certain metrics, such as employee spending and job creation from construction expenditures, are derived from university data but required supplemental analysis and calculations that rely on publicly available data and information. The university retained an outside firm with expertise in the field to independently perform the supplemental analyses and calculations.
