The University District is a City of Spokane planning area centered on the Riverpoint
Campus on the south side of the Spokane River, and the Gonzaga
University campus on the north side of the river.
The vision of the University District is for an exciting mixed-use
24/7 place to live, work, play, and learn. The city’s strategic master
plan for the University District does not dictate specific land uses,
projects, or tenants.
Bounded by Division Street on the west, Hamilton on the east, Sharp
on the north, and I-90 on the south, the area includes both the
Riverpoint Campus, home to
Washington State University Spokane and programs of
Eastern Washington University, and the
Gonzaga University campus, as well
as administrative offices of the
Community Colleges of Spokane.
As the Riverpoint Campus develops and enrollment grows, and as Gonzaga
University grows just across the river, demand for student and faculty
housing and services will grow as well.
This creates opportunities for development in adjacent streets and
stronger linkages to available services and entertainment venues in
downtown, already undergoing its own renaissance. Over $2 billion of
capital investment has gone into the downtown and University District
area in the past few years.
