The WSU Vancouver Life Sciences Building will be funded for design under the capital budget approved by the legislature and signed by Gov. Jay Inslee April 3. WSU requested $4 million to design the project.

Success means that WSU scholarship and research translates into public policy, amplifying the university’s impact, helping WSU fulfill its land‑grant mission and meeting the goals of the Drive to 25.

Priorities also include faculty and staff raises, funding for soil health initiative and new construction systemwide.
