WSU Main Campus 

Wichita State’s main campus is located on a 330-acre site bounded by Hillside, Oliver, 17th and 21st streets in northeast Wichita. The campus is modern and accessible and at the same time retains the flavor of the university’s heritage, combining distinctive Georgian-style architecture with more modern buildings of stone and brick that are accentuated by attractive landscaping. Wichita State continues to grow. In the past seven years, Wichita State’s main campus in northeast Wichita has been expanded by 120 acres with the conversion of a golf course to a new Innovation Campus that houses an interconnected community of academic and partnership buildings, applied-learning laboratories and mixed-use areas.
