Sen. Lisa Brown, D-Spokane, is vice chair of the Ways and Means Committee. Located near Stadium Way in the heart of the Pullman campus, the Teaching and Learning Center is an innovative classroom building that will provide 1,300 classroom seats and a 2,200 FTE capacity. Perhaps the most controversial of the WSU capital construction budget was the proposed Spokane Health Sciences Building. In addition to WSU projects in the health sciences, a majority of the building will house Spokane programs for Eastern Washington University. In addition to Loveland, the governor's budget director, Dick Thompson, played a key role in negotiating a proposed trust lands settlement to fund the proposal.
Funding appears sufficient to begin the project.
Honors students will live, study and take classes at this renovated White Hall facility.
