After receiving $100K in grant funding for a proposed “multiversity” campus, the inaugural Board of Directors met April 26 to begin discussing the project. The Yuma Multiversity Campus will serve as an education hub for existing institutions of higher education and the degrees they offer.
The board discussed bringing community, academic and industry partners together for complete planning and development that will be key to turn the multiverse concept into a reality.
Downtown University Plan
In 2017, the council adopted a plan for revitalizing the Old Town South Subarea that includes an initial combined downtown university and research park with a campus for up to 4,000 students, 300KSF in building space and up to 430KSF in student housing.
