Walla Walla Community College broke ground on an 18,800-square-foot student recreation center funded by student fees in mid-2019, with construction wrapping in 2020.

The project’s $8.25 million budget is supported by student fees approved by 72% of WWCC students in 2016. Students agreed to levy a $5 per credit per quarter, up to a $50 maximum, fee to support construction debt over a 20-year period.

It is at the east end of the college’s main parking lot. The facility houses a full basketball court, fitness center, dance studio and gathering spaces.

NAC Architecture designed the project.

Chervenell Construction is the general contractor.

The project wrapped up in summer 2020.
