Southern New Hampshire University picks downtown Tucson site for its West Coast headquarters – Tuscon.com
Southern New Hampshire University has chosen a downtown Tucson site for its West Coast headquarters.
Earlier this year, the college announced plans to move to Tucson with up to 350 employees for student support, academic advising and student financial services.
SNHU has more than 130,000 mostly online students worldwide and offers more than 300 accredited undergraduate, graduate and certificate programs.
Pima County has negotiated a lease with the college for 97 E. Congress St., which was vacated by Caterpillar earlier this year when its headquarters was completed on Cushing Street, just west of Interstate 10.
A letter of intent shows SNHU wants to enter a 10-year lease, beginning Sept. 1, for the county-owned building for $687,285 per year, county records show.
