360 Panorama from Big Creek Footbridge, FHSU by Ron Schott

This footbridge over Big Creek connects the main academic and dorm area of the Fort Hays State University campus with Cunningham Hall and the Gross Memorial Coliseum.

The FHSU campus sits in the floodplain of Big Creek. A 1951 flood on Big Creek covered much of campus and the downtown area. The current path of Big Creek has been rerouted around campus and a large levee has been built up from the excavated material. In 1993 this levee successfully managed to hold back the most recent significant flooding of Big Creek.
