Before WSU Vancouver moved to its current site in 1996, it was housed in Bauer Hall on Clark College's main campus Today, Clark College and WSU Vancouver are partners in a co-admissions agreement, signed on June 4, 2003, under which students can gain admittance to both institutions at the same time and transfer seamlessly from Clark College to WSUV. The 63,334 square foot, three-story building provides additional classrooms, science laboratories, computer labs, and support space to accommodate growing enrollment and the desire to provide access to lower division courses for WSUV students.
