It covers 700 acres (2.8 km²). The park's 162 buildings hold 23,000 employees who work for 140 different companies. Frederick Terman is often credited with the idea and success of the the the Stanford Research Park, which was the first university-owned industrial park at the time of its founding and played a key role in creation of Silicon Valley.
