WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Wichita State President John Bardo says a second company has agreed to a joint venture at the university's innovation campus.
Bardo said Thursday at a Kansas Board of Regents meeting that French company Dassault Systemes will create a manufacturing research center on the innovation campus. The center will include six robots that will be able to complete a 9-by-4-by-4-foot machine.
The Wichita Eagle reports (http://bit.ly/1H1DY8h ) the university announced earlier this year that Airbus will move to the innovation campus from its current office in downtown Wichita.
Bardo plans to start the 120-acre innovation campus with a $43 million Experiential Building. Plans call for spending another $70 million for a new business school. Prep work on the Experiential Engineering building has begun, and a groundbreaking is expected in the coming months.
