Project Map


Capital Overview

Central Washington University (CWU) was established in 1890 and is one of the three regional institutions offering baccalaureate and graduate degrees. At present, CWU serves about 7,300 students at its Ellensburg campus. A total of over 50 buildings support instructional, administrative, student and public service, and support functions of the institution. Nearly 30 residence buildings house students on campus. The buildings range in age from nearly new to 100 years old.

Statewide enrollment projections indicate a need to provide additional student access to higher education facilities. While the University's classroom capacity is adequate for such an increase, both laboratory and office space will need significant renovation and renewal over the decade. Five major buildings housing lab-intensive instruction and are now between 20 and 30 years old.
