About the Olathe Innovation Campus Site

The K-State Olathe Innovation Campus is what happens when public and private support from government, industry and academia come together in an ideal location to focus on fields that are important in our 21st century world: animal health and food safety and security.

Kansas State University, the Kansas Bioscience Authority and the City of Olathe have joined together to create the Kansas Bioscience Park, which is situated on a 92 acre park-like setting in Johnson County, near Kansas Highway 7 and College Boulevard.

The KSU Innovation Campus occupies 38 acres of the Bioscience Park and is adjacent to a 54 acre tract of land deeded to the Kansas Bioscience Authority. Surrounding the current Park boundaries are nearly 1,000 acres of undeveloped land that offer the possibility of a greatly enlarged Bioscience Park in the years to come.

The Innovation Campus' location puts it in close proximity to current and future collaboration partners: regional K-12 school districts, Johnson County Community College, Midamerica Nazarene University, and KU's Edwards and Medical Center campuses. Outreach initiatives will give K-12 students many age-appropriate opportunities to view and participate in real-life science and technology discoveries and commercialization.
