KU architecture students to display ideas for KCK healthy campus

Several University of Kansas architecture students will display their ideas for the Kansas City, Kan., downtown healthy campus on May 23.

The ideas will be on display at 8 a.m. May 23 at the CHWC office, 2 S. 14th St., Kansas City, Kan.

The healthy campus is proposed near Big 11 park and lake.

Several students at KU have spent time this semester to study the area and develop individual, alternative programs, site proposals and individual community center buildings.

The students’ approaches align with many of the initiatives that are currently being discussed regarding the 10th Street bikeway proposal, the Complete Streets Program, urban agriculture, environmental and nutritional education activities, and providing futsal courts and other physical activities on the site.
