Baptist Student Union mixed use development
906 S. National Ave.
Pending city approval and rezoning, Hood-Rich Architecture is designing a $10 million mixed-use development to replace the current home of the Baptist Student Union, which has served Missouri State University students since the mid-1900s. Officials say the project would provide up to five stories of student housing and some 3,000 square feet of ground floor commercial space. Plans call for the site to have a pedestrian-friendly streetscape connecting to the adjacent Rountree Neighborhood. A general contractor has not yet been selected. Engineers on board are Anderson Engineering Inc., civil; Mettemeyer Engineering LLC, structural; and CJD Engineering LLC, mechanical, electrical and plumbing. The project is slated for completion in July 2021.
Missouri State University’s science building, built in 1971 and formerly called Temple Hall, is being reconstructed and updated.
