A long-empty office building on Race Street could soon swap cubicles for chemistry labs. A private school operator is pushing a plan to turn the site into a full high school campus for up to 800 students, another sign that San Jose’s office glut is turning into a classroom opportunity.
Proposal Details
The application from BASIS Independent Schools calls for an adaptive reuse of roughly 72,700 square feet inside a three-story office building at 525 Race Street, plus a new one-story, 16,600-square-foot gym. Together, the pieces would create an approximately 89,400-square-foot campus, with offices reworked into classrooms, labs and athletic facilities. Those details were first reported by The Registry.
