WSU Vancouver Celebrates Progress

Grand Opening and Ground Breaking Event.

Washington State University Vancouver (WSU) in Salmon Creek will be celebrating two events, a groundbreaking and a grand opening,  on August 19 at 10 am.  This event is free and open to the public.  Guests are invited to gather outdoors near the Engineering Life Sciences Building.

The Ground Breaking Celebration will be for their new Applied Technology Classroom.  The new 56,000-square-foot, four-story Applied Technology Classroom building will include hi-tech laboratories and classrooms. This teaching and research facility will prepare students to meet the employment needs of high-demand fields in Southwest Washington, such as computer science and engineering.

The Grand Opening Celebration is for the Undergraduate Classroom Building. The Undergraduate Classroom building is WSU Vancouver’s first Leadership in Environmental and Energy Design-certified project, earning a LEED Silver level distinction under the Green Building Rating system. Guests at the event will have an opportunity to tour the new building.
