Lindenwood University is moving out of its location on Washington Avenue in downtown ºüÀêÊÓƵ and relocating into the Old Post Office at Ninth and Olive streets, also downtown.
The university expects to move its Wildwood and ºüÀêÊÓƵ accelerated degree program operations into the new location April 1.
“We outgrew our current space and wanted to strengthen our commitment to urban education, like no other,†Lindenwood System President Michael Shonrock said in a statement.
The move means Lindenwood will quadruple its downtown footprint to 32,000 square-feet. They are taking over the space vacated when Webster University moved its downtown operations to the historic Arcade Building at 800 Olive Street earlier this year.Â
Lindenwood will be the anchor tenant in its new location. Other tenants in the building include the Missouri Court of Appeals, the ºüÀêÊÓƵ Public Library, Focus ºüÀêÊÓƵ, the ºüÀêÊÓƵ Business Journal and a number of government offices.
