Keep your eyes and ears peeled for a media release with all the information for University District month! Information will also be posted to our website www.SpokaneUniversityDistrict.com .
Spring-Summer 2009
Two Campuses Within One District
1MBThe University District encompasses hundreds of businesses clustered around the campus homes of Eastern Washington University (EWU), Gonzaga University and Washington State University (WSU) at the east end of downtown Spokane.
The two campuses—Gonzaga University and Riverpoint Campus that houses WSU Spokane and EWU Spokane— bring talented faculty and staff together with thousands of students to serve as the knowledge and innovation anchor for the region. Sirti, a state economic development agency headquartered at Riverpoint, provides 40,000 square feet on-campus incubator space to technology based companies.
To enhance its ability to connect and serve the needs of the business community, Community Colleges of Spokane relocated its district administrative offices to the University District.
Around the campuses are businesses that draw on this population for their customer base, along with dozens of opportunity sites for development of additional housing, services, dining, entertainment, professional and clinical offices.
