Check out the new North Academic Complex and GeoEco Plant at Central Washington University, designed in partnership with NAC! Currently under construction, the North Academic Complex is envisioned as the future hub for academic and community gatherings on campus. Follow the construction progress at the link below.
Our team has been partnered with Opsis in design of Central Washington University’s North Academic Complex (NAC) and GeoEco Plant since fall of 2022. The 108,000 SF NAC was designed to integrate several departments in an interdisciplinary, collaborative learning environment. An internal 4-story atrium, featuring daylight and cross-laminated timber, connects study spaces, classrooms and offices. The 242 seat lecture hall will support CWU in hosting both campus and community events. Our adjacent project, the GeoEco Plant and associated geothermal wells, will heat and cool the NAC and other campus facilities. The academic building is targeting LEED Gold, with cross-laminated timbers being sustainably sourced from the Yakama Tribes as a renewable resource! These, along with other sustainable features, will make a significant impact toward reducing greenhouse gas emissions on campus. We’re thrilled to be part of this project as it comes to life.
