Wichita State Poised For Massive Growth

[WstateU]

Drove by this afternoon and the new School of Business is really coming together. Lots of steel in the air.

It’s like heaven came down and set up a little satellite location on the WSU campus.

I was in a flight training program at WSU but they called it Air Force ROTC. Kind of a cool side to that was my final check ride was given by Mary Aikens who was the womans aerobatic champion in her long career. I know I wound up in the Corps but that is a story for another time.

NIAR can create 475 jobs over 10 years with a $2.1 mill grant, a matching contribution from WSU, and the revenue they can generate from the military and commercial airlines. At the risk of offending some golfers, the city just gave $10 mill in future sales taxes to be used to retire debt for an indoor golf facility that may employ what? - maybe 40 people?

Between NIAR, the Aerospace Engineering program, the Innovation Campus, the School of Business, and some other top-notch departments and facilities, WSU is emerging as a significant national campus. Adding the Tech School is a great addition, as a lot of job training there competes with and surpasses salaries for some college grads.

A grad of WSU Tech is likely to be working outside or possibly in a factory without much effective heating or A/C, but a WSU grad with a degree in philosophy may find fewer (if any) employers interested in hiring them.

Have you gone to Top Golf?

I haven’t been but I’ve seen one and it’s been described to me. Not indoor but a Top Shelf driving range ( think 3-4 stories high) with very nice amenities, bars, and plenty of alcohol and food mixed with big screen televisions, and golf practice. Think Sports Bars or Chicken and Pickle mixed with golf practice instead of Pickle Ball. A fantastic place for the local companies to schmooze with their customers. I’m sure there also are families who participate too later in the day. If Shoxlax or anyone else who has been at one of these facilities, can share more, please do, and I have no idea on how many people it employs.

FYI: Social Tap Drinkery and Sungrano Pizza are just special. Absolutely a grand slam concept with great food and a better than average beer list in a great atmosphere. If you haven't worked them into your rotation yet, you should do so immediately. FYI2: Their second restaurant, Wheatly's, a burger and sandwich place, will be opening by the end of August.

On my bucket list if I don’t ‘croak’ first.

Been watching the construction camera and I was puzzled that they drained the holding ponds in front of the new Business school but now with all the sand they are hauling in today I think WSU is getting ready for Beach volleyball to be added to the athletic side. Seriously is that supposed to be where the proposed bridge is to be built?
