University Center and Instructional Site Timeline
CWU Pierce County (1974) : CWU’s first University Center partnership was with Pierce College, which operates two campuses: one in Puyallup and one in Fort Steilacoom. CWU launched programs at Fort Steilacoom in 1974 with a focus on teacher preparation programs. In 2005, CWU requested state capital funding to move CWU programs out of the portable units and into a new facility, “Olympic Building.” Pierce is CWU’s third largest University Center and second highest transfer sending institution. Education, Social Sciences, and Law and Justice were the primary program offerings; the BAS Information Technology and Administrative Management (ITAM) and BS Interdisciplinary Studies (IDS) were later added in an FTE-sharing agreement with Pierce College in 2006, which continues today: the state pays Pierce College for FTE targets in ITAM, IDS and Social Services, then a portion of the FTE dollars are paid to CWU based on CWU-Pierce County hitting enrollment targets. CWU-Lynnwood (1975): The Lynnwood campus was established in 1975 with a focus on business, accounting, law and justice, and education. In 2001, CWU received a state capital appropriation of $5.875 million for the construction of Snoqualmie Hall on the campus of Edmonds Community College. In August 2002, CWU entered a 20-year lease/purchase agreement for $5.145 million with the Office of the State Treasurer to pay for a portion of an instructional building at Edmonds Community College to house the CWU-Lynnwood Center. Average annual payments are $384,000 to be paid from tuition revenues for 20 years. Under the terms of the project contract, Edmonds Community College receives ownership of the building and Central Washington University has a tenant right in perpetuity. In 2012 CWU secured $3,345 million in bond funds to refinance the original debt and continues to pay $360,000 per year in bond payments. This debt will be retired June 1, 2023. The education program moved from Lynnwood to Des Moines in 2013 due to low enrollment. CWU also has a shared FTE agreement with Edmonds Community College for students in ITAM.
