The following is an excerpt from The WSU Foundation website.
Wichita State is taking big strides toward its plan to build an Innovation Campus on the southeast corner of the university footprint, with a modern new business school seen as a key component to the project’s overall success.
The W. Frank Barton School of Business would be housed in one of five new buildings planned for the Innovation Campus, an initiative proposed by WSU President John Bardo as a way to help achieve the university’s strategic plan. Among the most important elements of the strategic plan are forging a new model of education that emphasizes applied learning and research, being an economic driver for Wichita and Kansas, and growing enrollment.
