The present Agnews facilities are structurally sound, and extremely well suited for adaptive re-use and re-habilitation. There are so many possibilities that the following is merely a seed for further thought and exploration.

Child Care Center	Agnews was home for the Martinson Child Care Center, until they were evicted by the State.
Community Center	Agnews was built to be a community for the metally challenged. There are many facilities present which a community center requires. these facilities are waiting to be incorporated into a community center.
Safety Training Center	The Safety Training Consortium, a state agency, has been using Agnews for their training program until they were evicted by the State. The consortium had asked to take over Agnews for a dedicated training facility, but they were turned down.
High Tech Startup Center	Affordable facilites are required for the entrepreneurs who start new high tech enterprises. Agnews could provide Santa Clara with a superb high tech center which is populated by entrepreneurs starting their enterprises. This facility could be the starting point for the next Bill Hewlett, David Packard, and Gary Jobs.
Historical District	Agnews is a nationally registered Historical District. The only one in Santa Clara. The district consists of a number of buildings (56 to 80, depending on how one counts) and landscaping.
Park	The landscaping, designed by John MacLaren - who also did golden Gate Park, the Presidio, and Central Park in New York City - constitutes a beautiful park. Let's make it available to the public.
Smithsonian West	The Smithsonian Institution - the national museum - has been looking to establish a space museum on the West Coast. Agnews would serve very well for that.
NASA Space College	NASA has been interested in creating a space college. A higher level of education facility for the furthereance of space science. At present the space educational facilities are quite fragmented throughout the country. Agnews would be an ideal setting for the space college.

There are many, many more possibilities. The possibilities are limited only by one's imagination.

Qualified developers for adaptive reuse know how to take facilities like Agnews, and convert them into economically viable units. It is done all over the country, and some of the developers who have come forward - but who have not been welcomed - have developed districts far larger than Agnews.

These developers have stated bluntly that given the opportunity to do so, they can transform Agnews into a thriving economic community.
