Walla Walla Community College students are going back to school this month in some new and remodeled buildings. The two-year school has wrapped up a $25 million expansion that included spending $10 million on a new 36,000-square-foot Health Science and Performing Arts Building, which will include room for a nursing school and a theater. The school also spent $2.8 million on a new 10,000-square-foot Center for Water and Environmental Studies and $9.3 million to expand its main classroom building with a new 19,800-square-foot wing, the Walla Walla Union-Bulletin reports.
The school has 13,000 full- and part-time students at the main Walla Walla campus and a branch campus in Clarkston. The Clarkston campus also got a new $2.6 million health and science building as part of the expansion.
