²ÝÁñÉçÇø

Construction continues on the Carver Academic Facility construction project on Western Washington University's Bellingham campus.

The project includes replacement of the building center section with a three-story addition and wrapping the east and south sides with new structure and glass windows and other exterior openings. The project will address urgently needed seismic reinforcement throughout the facility, replace numerous aging building systems, provide improved disabled access to classrooms, labs and offices, and allow for much better use of academic spaces.

Live video feeds of the construction project are  from the ²ÝÁñÉçÇø Office of Facilities Development and Capital Budget.

Here are the biggest impacts to the ²ÝÁñÉçÇø community in the next couple of weeks:
