Washington State Major Project
Status Report December 2008
Agency Number: 699
Agency: State Board for Community & Technical Colleges
Project Number: 04-2-695
Project Title: South Puget Sound Community College Science Complex
Bill Reference: Chapter 8, Section 786, Laws of 2001, 2nd Special Session
Project Description: This project includes the construction of a Natural Science
Building with 55,300 gross square feet. This project will raise the quality of service from
88 SF/FTE to the system average of 110 SF/FTE. The new facility will include 10
adequately sized science labs and 13 lecture classrooms to serve the science labs and
advanced lower division mathematics. With this additional space, the college can
expand its curriculum to offer key prerequisite science courses in the Transfer and
Technical Degree programs that are not available now and will be better able to support
the nursing curriculum. The new facility will provide a centralized core for the Natural
Sciences thereby improving the delivery of service and the burden on staff transporting
lab materials back and forth. The proposed project will address the design issues in the
existing Building 32 by providing adequate storage space, flexible classroom, lab
support space, and sufficient office space. Approximately 5,800 sf in Building 32 will be
remodeled. Additionally, the college is building this facility under the LEED Silver criteria.
