University of Idaho Connections

A week ago I had a conversation with Gerard Billington, in the UI Real Estate office. Gerard feels UI would like to see developments in SODO that connect UI to Moscow and that strengthen the edge of campus.

I'm guessing UI might like to rent office space in SODO, its close to campus, close to parking, and likely, close to the Intermodal Transit Center in the planning stages

For this SODO Friday challenge (learn about SODO Friday), suggest University of Idaho uses in SODO Moscow:
  • Programs that would benefit from easy public access (avoid parking congestion in central campus)
  • Programs that connect town and campus
  • Services the UI community might consume (eg a student health center not student housing)
As an example, the offices of the WSU Foundation are downtown Pullman with retail uses below.

Last week's SODO Friday focused on Promenades.
