Description
Work is in progress on Western Washington University’s new Communications Facility, a 131,365-square-foot academic building designed to meet the growing need for class and instructional space for the Departments of Physics, Computer Science, Communications and Journalism.
The new facility contains lecture halls, classrooms, computer classrooms, instructional laboratories, departmental administrative offices and related support spaces.
Flexibility is a primary feature of the classroom design. Computer classrooms have built-in stations, but they are also convertible to general classroom use.
Western Washington University recently obtained a Higher Education Coordinating Board grant to fund a new Center for Internet Studies, and the Communications Facility will be its home.
