CWU Wins Award for Student Center

The Association of College Unions International gave the Seattle architecture firm Ambia and Central Washington University the 2007 ACUI Facility Design Award of Excellence for the $58 million Student Union and Recreation Center.

Projects are judged on appearance, the design process and how they impact the campus.

The 228,000-square-foot center opened in 2006. The building is oriented around an interior pedestrian mall. It has a 1,000-seat ballroom, 345-seat theater, climbing wall, four basketball courts and fitness areas.

The center also received an Oustanding Sports Facility Award from the National Intramural-Recreational Sports Association.
