A community focused on creating what’s next.
IDEA Commons is Missouri State University’s vision for an urban innovation park in downtown Springfield. It’s a collaborative community effort that brings together corporations, the University, residential lofts, non-profits, office and retail space. It’s a hub where people from all walks of life can live, shop, learn, create and work.
IDEA Commons is more than a collection of buildings and people. It’s a community focused on creating what’s next. The district is rooted in history but has eyes fixed to the future. It’s the catalyst for innovation in southwest Missouri and beyond.
