Eagle - City names site for new WSU-KU Wichita Biomedical Center: 'This is going to be big'
We're getting closer. Construction is expected to start next summer and be finished in 2026.
At first I was thinking this would be one giant property with the two sites, but the way the Eagle has it they're just different corners, unless it was meant to read southwest corner of Topeka and William. I'm not familiar with the area so I'm not sure what either property looks like, but it will be huge for the city/region/state when it's up and running.
On Tuesday, the Wichita City Council will consider a last-minute agenda item that’s a memorandum of understanding between the city, the University of Kansas Medical Center and Wichita State University for the new Wichita Biomedical Center in downtown.
“This is going to be big,” said Assistant City Manager Troy Anderson. “This project is going to transform not only downtown but our entire region as it relates to healthcare (and) medical.”
The city has two sites — the southeast corner of Broadway and William where a parking lot is and the southeast corner of Topeka and William where the Wichita Transit center is currently — that it is offering to sell or lease to the institutions.
