Santa Clara Country won't let them expand the undergraduate population because of environmental issues. Perhaps this donation will facilitate a solution and empower a period of new growth in the student body.

Right. And I am sure they pushed back on that real hard before settling for building multitudes of buildings that they fill with staff that doesn't live on campus and fills the roads commuting to campus.

Stanford was planning to add 500 students to each undergraduate class. But every special interest group and every governmental agency in the region regards Stanford as a cash cow to be milked. It wasn't going to get done without paying blackmail money to multiple entities.
