Western Washington University Completes Kaiser Borsari Hall
Western Washington University (WWU) marked a major milestone by completing Kaiser Borsari Hall, a cutting-edge learning facility.
The new building will not only expand capacity in WWU’s growing electrical and computer engineering, energy science, and computer science programs but also set a precedent as the first publicly funded zero-energy academic building on a university campus in Washington State.
At approximately 54,000 square feet, it will provide state-of-the-art teaching spaces and experiential learning environments, along with teaching labs, learning research labs, active learning classrooms, collaborative space, and academic administrative space.
Kaiser Borsari Hall is a public-private funding partnership financed by a lead gift alongside state and federal funds. Perkins&Will is performing design consulting, and Mortenson is the general contractor and construction manager. The structure’s eco-friendly design integrates advanced energy-saving technologies to ensure carbon neutrality and operates with a zero-energy footprint.
