Des Moines University selling its original campus presents an interesting opportunity for a small satellite campus. If not a satellite campus, perhaps now is a good time to consider expanding ISU's presence with a larger space in downtown Des Moines.
Thoughts?
Avoid satellite campuses at all costs? Shun physical buildings and focus on an online future? Potentially intriguing investment?
BTW, this conversation can go beyond the DMU property. I'd be interested in hearing general opinions on a true Des Moines satellite campus.
Perhaps, rather than a campus, a standalone, upscale building would be more appropriate? (Think University of Chicago's Gleacher Center just north of the Loop)
EDIT:
A great article on flagships and satellite campuses from the chancellor of UC Berkeley:

I wish I had read this before posting. Highly recommend reading if you have the time.
