Central Washington University
Humanities & Social Science Complex
40000081
Funds demolition of the Farrell Hall and Language and Literature buildings, construction of a new 106,000 SF Humanities & Social Science Complex/North Academic Building, and drilling and infrastructure for a new geothermal open-loop ground source heat pump system drawing from the Ellensburg Aquifer. This system will be used to heat and cool this new building and at least two potential future buildings in this area of campus. Geothermal systems eliminate the combustion of fossil fuels on site and dramatically lower the need to generate power by using the ground as a heat source and sink, reducing the emission of greenhouse gases and the environmental damage associated with nonrenewable resource extraction. The complex will serve as a hub for disciplines such as philosophy, political science, criminal justice, and sociology, bringing together theory and practice in government, policy, ethics, and civic engagement.

Multicultural Center
40000123
Funding is provided for demolition of the International Center and construction of a 19,560 SF Multicultural Center. State funding will supplement university funding (estimated at $16.8 million) by extending the commitment to bonds used to construct the Student Union and Recreation Center in 2006. This building will likely be added to the geothermal loop, eliminating the need for fossil fuels for heating and domestic hot water.
