Project Description
University of Louisville Belknap Connector
Jefferson County, Kentucky
The University of Louisville has an ambitious vision for the 40-acre Belknap Engineering & Applied Sciences Park. The expansive project will improve our nation’s competitiveness through innovation in manufacturing, logistics, renewable energy, computing and digital technology. What’s more, the university will leverage its research functions into an economic engine that will attract high-wage jobs and, in a span of ten years, add as much as $1 billion in tax revenue for the region and for Kentucky.
The ambition for the Belknap Engineering & Applied Sciences Park is grand, yet the site had many complex and limiting characteristics. The property had very limited and unsafe access for any mode of transportation – it required a new connector road. The Belknap Connector provided multimodal access to the property.
The University of Louisville Belknap Engineering & Applied Sciences Park will be transformative for the university and a flagship location for innovation in Kentucky. The Belknap Connector was one of the first steps taken to make it happen.
