KU Medical School Plans Expansion
A plan for extensive expansion, ultimately extending the University of Kansas Medical Center from Rainbow Boulevard on the west to State Line on the east, has been approved by the City Planning Commission of Kansas City, Kan.
The proposal covers an anticipation of 20 years, in two 10-year stages. During the first stage, land necessary for expansion includes residential property bound on the west between Eaton and Cambridge Streets, running north-south from 39th Street to Olathe Boulevard. The first stage also calls for relocation of Olathe to curve one block south and join Rainbow where 41st would intersect were it to continue to that point.
RE-LOCATION OF THIS street in such a manner is expected to lessen traffic congestion now existing at the present intersection and provide solid campus necessary to double the size of the Student Union-Continuation Center.
south between 39th Street and Olathe.
The second stage of expansion, anticipated to start in 1974, calls for acquisition of additional property, primarily residential, from Cambridge east to State Line, and north-
The development plan is the result of months of study by administrative staff of the Medical Center, the University of Kansas, Kansas Board of Regents and the Kansas University Endowment Association, working with officials of Kansas City, Kan., and the Urban Renewal Agency.
"THE MASTER PLAN is, of necessity, general, in many aspects, particularly during the second 10-year stage to begin in 1974," said Dr. C. Arden Miller, director of the KU Medical Center, "and it is predicated with the expectation that the Planning Commission will protect the land necessary for Medical Center growth."
He continued, "But we can be specific in this regard. We need more land during the coming decade, and we undoubtedly will need more in the future. Our present 20-acre main campus is now crowded with buildings and we are faced with an ever-increasing lack of parking space. The flexibility additional land provides will permit us to plan an orderly expansion of educational, research and health care facilities."
DR. MILLER EXPLAINED that the staff-employee population of the Medical Center is anticipated to increase by 50 per cent during the next 10 years, and by 66 per cent during the following decade. Currently there are 2,500 on the payroll and more than 1,000 students are enrolled in medical and paramedical educational programs. Hospital admissions are approaching 20,000 annually, and outpatient visits are more than 200,000 a year.
"The University of Kansas Medical Center is now a community populated with 4,000 to 5,000 daily; every indication points to the fact that this community will double its size during the next 20 years," according to Dr. Miller.
"Property is now being purchased, with private resources, as it is available at fair market prices in the area east of the Medical Center," stated Dr. Miller. This area now has 43 dwellings—23 single family homes and 20 multi-family units. Also to be acquired is the half-block south from the present campus to 41st Street, between Francis and Eaton.
