Clark College at WSU Vancouver campus opened for classes on January 3, 2006.   It was the next step in the longstanding partnership between Clark College and WSU Vancouver. 

Before WSU Vancouver moved to its current site in 1996, it was housed in Bauer Hall on the Clark College campus. 

Today, Clark College and WSU Vancouver are partners in a co-admissions agreement 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.

       
Students in the Clark College nursing program, the Engineering and Science Institute, and our 2+2 transfer students enjoy classes in this beautiful new facility.

The groundbreaking ceremony for the environmentally friendly, state-of-the-art facility was held on July 21, 2004. 

The $19.7 million project, which was designed by LSW Architects, PC, of Vancouver, was completed on schedule and under budget.   It received a 2006 Community Pride Design Award from Clark County and the city of Vancouver.

The lobby mural, “Flight of the Mind, Exploration of the Heart” was created by Johanna Poethig as part of the Washington State Arts Commissioner Art in Public Places Program in partnership with Clark College.
