Economic and Community Initiatives
UMSL is deeply rooted in North County and the St. Louis Region. As an anchor institution, the University partners with our local and regional community on economic development, health and education initiatives to improve well-being and opportunity in St. Louis and beyond.
North St. Louis County Business and Workforce District
In alignment with the Campus Master Plan, the university continues to seek public and private financial support to consolidate the university’s academic core to its North Campus and develop the North St. Louis County Workforce and Business District. This campus transformation includes the transition of key academic programs and facilities from the South Campus to the North Campus in concert with a comprehensive renovation of classroom, laboratory and community spaces to serve students for decades to come.
