On the northern outskirts of Austin, Texas a parcel of land was selected to become the new home of Concordia. The selection of an appropriate site is instrumental to the success of any institution and it would be the same for Concordia.But some were skeptical of the location given its distance from downtown while others consider even the acreage excessive. Is Concordia overextending itself? Is this the right decision?

Those were some of the sentiments in 1926 when a 20-acre site along East Avenue north of downtown Austin was selected for the new high school. Looking back, the concerns over location and size seem humorous with its location so close to downtown. Obviously, the Austin of 1926 was very different from the Austin of 2008. In the twenty-first century of urban sprawl, it can be difficult to imagine vast, open countryside just a few miles north of the Capital. Much has changed. Over the years a quiet broad thoroughfare known as East Avenue was replaced by the concrete of a double-decked interstate populated by roaring traffic. Open fields were replaced by dense development and an airport that has already come and gone. But through it all, Concordia remained and flourished by the grace of God on that small tract of land between Red River and Interstate 35.

An expansion of services will also allow the University to reach out to the community and the church, broadening external relationships as well as image. The combination of these will create a new, stronger future for Concordia, and will deepen the foundation on which it is built.
