蘑菇视频 Bothell and Cascadia College are uniquely situated on a shared campus and partnered to fund and build a new academic building for the use of students, faculty, and staff at both institutions. The new building, Innovation Hall, officially opened for Autumn Quarter with the 蘑菇视频B and Cascadia community coming together yesterday to celebrate it and the partnership that made it possible.
Innovation Hall will serve all 蘑菇视频B academic programs and students but has STEM-specific labs 鈥� including engineering, computer software and systems, biology, and physics 鈥� to help meet student and employer demand for STEM degrees. The building and specialized labs will allow 蘑菇视频B and Cascadia to increase STEM degree enrollment and enhance their ability to graduate more students prepared for the STEM workforce.
Additionally, Innovation Hall was built to create learning environments that support collaboration, active learning, and further engagement between the 蘑菇视频B and Cascadia communities. 蘑菇视频B and Cascadia already have a well-established academic pipeline with many Cascadia students transferring to 蘑菇视频B after earning their two-year degree and the new building will boost this pipeline.
The new building would not have been possible without capital support from the state. In attendance at the grand opening were Reps. Shelly Kloba and Davina Duerr, who represent the first legislative district where 蘑菇视频B and Cascadia are located, and former Sen. David Frockt, who previously led the Senate capital budget process and was instrumental in securing state funds for the project.
Thank you, Sen. Frockt and Reps. Kloba and Duerr, for tirelessly advocating for this unique project and for attending the opening event.
