Hendrix is breaking ground on an entirely new kind of community - designed to be of equal benefit to its residents and to the Hendrix community - taking shape right next door to our campus.

Hendrix, together with Traditional Neighborhood Partners, it is creating a vibrant, dynamic, community-centered neighborhood based on a Master Plan by the renowned architects Duany Plater-Zyberk & Company.  It will be distinguished by traditional architecture, cozy streetscapes and lots of welcoming public spaces, like a village square - all within easy strolling distance.

Living and learning.  The Village will be home not only to families and individuals but also to businesses, shops and offices.  All commercial development will be assessed in terms of its potential to enhance and enrich the experience of Hendrix students and Village residents. Residents of The Village will also benefit from Hendrix’s academic, cultural, and recreational resources. 

Community and camaraderie. The Village, like the Hendrix campus, has been designed to foster a strong sense of community. Think of the most beautiful, coolest urban neighborhood you’ve ever seen (or perhaps been lucky enough to live in!) — then imagine it in safe, friendly Conway. 

The Village is taking shape as we speak and Phase One should be well under way by the 2009-10 academic year. The first structures to break ground will be mixed-use buildings offering extended student housing and public restaurants and retail.  Learn more about this exciting new venture within our site.
