Grand Canyon University (GCU) is located just across the street to the northeast. The 179 acre campus is home to 5,800 full-time & 25,300 part-time undergrads and over 17,000 part-time grad students. Total enrollment is about 68,000 including on-line students.

Grand Canyon Education Inc. (Nasdaq: LOPE) is in the midst of $180 million in construction projects on its GCU campus, but has a total of $550 million planned over the next four years. In addition to the $180 million projects on the books for 2016, plans call for spending an additional $100 million in 2017 for two apartment-style dorms, parking garage, and Division I athletics improvements. In 2018, GCU plans to spend another $100 million to build three more apartment-style dorms, an additional restaurant and library space. In 2019, the university has budgeted $85 million to build one apartment-style dorm and a classroom building, and another $85 million for 2020 for another apartment-style dorm and parking garage.

More information on GCU is in the marketing package. The rapid expansion of this university should have a major positive impact in the surrounding area.
