Campus Corner Preference Survey

UCO and the City of Edmond are developing a plan for the area between North Boulevard and University Drive, spanning from East 2nd Street to East Thatcher Street. This initiative may explore the possibility of creating a new commercial district to serve the broader university community, like Campus Corner areas in Stillwater and Norman. The survey aims to gather input on the types of businesses, services and spaces most needed in this part of Edmond and best supported by the UCO community.

The survey should take no more than 10 minutes to complete. The deadline to take the survey is Sunday, Nov. 24.
