The marquee exterior fixture of the W. Frank Barton School of Business’ new home, Wayne and Kay Woolsey Hall, has been officially named the Promise Bridge. The 300-foot-long pedestrian bridge will span over a water feature south of the building.
“The Promise Bridge is a literal and symbolic connection between Wichita State University’s main campus and our Innovation Campus. It’s a physical manifestation of the promise we make to our students, faculty, staff, alumni, and partners,” said Dr. Larisa Genin, dean of the Barton School of Business.
The Promise Bridge’s intentional Y-shape is not only beautiful architectural characteristic, but it is a representation of the business school’s and Wichita State’s commitment to academics, research, and industry.
