The BIG ideas!

A Wichita Destination. A Community Benefit.

University Village is a bold initiative to create a community destination of dining, entertainment and shopping to the immediate area surrounding the campus of Wichita State University.

A partnership between the University, City of Wichita, Sedgwick County and community members, the University Village will be a transformational addition to the state’s only urban-based research university that has witnessed continued growth and economic impact.

 

University Village Stakeholders

To succeed, the University Village initiative will require all of us moving forward together. Collaboration will be vital to spur progress that elevates all stakeholders.
