California state Polytechnic University, Pomona or abbreviated as Cal Poly Pomona is situated in Pomona, a largely suburban city that is part of the Los Angeles metropolitan area. The city of Pomona is located in the eastern portion of Los Angeles County and borders San Bernardino to the east. The university’s 1,725 acres (6.9 ) campus make it the second largest in the California State University system, this includes various facilities scattered throughout Southern California such as a 53-acre (21 ha) ranch in Santa Paula, California, 25-acre (10 ha) campus at the former Spadra Landfill (now known as "Spadra Ranch"), and the Neutra VDL Studio and Residences in Silver Lake, Los Angeles.

Although part of the Los Angeles metropolitan area, the university is more closer to two other metropolitan regions, the Inland Empire and Orange County. The university has a tier 1 area, defined as a geographical admissions region surrounding the campus, roughly bounded by the San Gabriel Mountains to the north, the city of Chino Hills to the south, Interstate 605 to the west, and Interstate 15 to the east. Cal Poly Pomona's campus buildings vary in age and style from the Mission Revival Kellogg Horse Stables and the Kellogg House (which is based off of Southern California Spanish Architecture) built in the 1920's; the modernist box-like portion of the library was completed in 1969; The contemporary dormitories, and STEM facilities were completed in the early 21st century

However the administration at the school has yet to add more parking facilities despite constant demand due to traffic overflow.
