Construction on Phase 1 of the Wichita Biomedical Campus continues as work on floors eight and nine has begun, leaving only the roof left to be put up, nearly extending past the construction livestream.
Concrete pouring has been completed up to the third floor and will begin on the fourth floor this week. Steel will begin being placed on floors seven through nine for the remainder of the week, and the first floor has seen duct work installed.
Phase 1 of the Wichita Biomedical Campus — a joint venture of Wichita State, the University of Kansas and WSU Tech — is a $222 million, 350,000-square-foot joint health sciences center, located at the southeast corner of Broadway and William. Once complete, the Wichita Biomedical Campus will combine WSU’s College of Health Professions programs, including the Evelyn Hendren Cassat Speech-Language-Hearing Clinic, WSU Tech’s health care program and the Wichita campuses of KU School of Medicine and KU School of Pharmacy.
