VANCOUVER – WSU Vancouver broke ground Wednesday on its new $43.5 million Applied Technology Classroom building and celebrated the grand opening of the new Undergraduate Classroom building.
When it opens in fall 2011, the four-story, 56,000-square-foot technology building will house the new undergraduate electrical engineering program. It’s the second of three buildings planned at the campus as part of an economic development project to boost southwest Washington’s semiconductor industry.
Work on the classroom building began in January 2008. It is the campus’ first Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design-certified project.
