Bellevue University has acquired two additional buildings and adjacent land near its main campus in Bellevue. With the acquisition, the school adds nearly seven acres to its 38-acre main campus. The university will use both buildings for administrative office space, while the vacant piece of property allows for future expansion to support the school’s continued growth.
The two new buildings are located at 2108 and 2104 Harvell Circle, accessible from Herman Drive and across the street from the university’s Educational Services Building, also located on Herman Drive. Herman Drive is located off Harvell Drive, one of Bellevue’s main thoroughfares.
One building, at 2108 Harvell Circle, is 5,686 square feet and is currently occupied by QLI as a medical clinic. QLI is scheduled to move out of the property by Sept. 1. The second building, at 10,162 square feet, is vacant and was most recently used as a computer/data center. In addition, the university acquired 4.57 acres of vacant property located directly to the north and west of the two buildings. Bellevue University’s main campus property now extends west from Galvin Road nearly all the way to Fort Crook Road.
The University hopes to move into the former data/comptuer building by the end of September. No timeline has been set for moving into the QLI building, nor for any future construction on the vacant land.
The university acquired the two buildings and vacant property for approximately $3.1 million, with $900,000 of that price coming from an anonymous donor, therefore lowering the price for the university to just over $2 million.
Nearly 8,000 students attend Bellevue University, making it the largest private university in the state. The school’s enrollment has tripled since 1996, when that number stood at 2,600.
