The local university is already bursting at the seams on their property next to Surprise City Hall.
Ottawa University officials inked a 65-year lease with the city last month and are busy advancing plans to add an athletic complex and other facilities as part of a development project originally announced late last year (“Panel talks City Center’s future: Planners, public weigh in on downtown development,” Surprise Today, Nov. 15, 2017).
Kevin Eichner, Ottawa chancellor and professor of business administration and organization development, said university leaders are pleased by the success of their collaboration with the city and eager to build out their first-ever Arizona residential campus.
