This morning Evergreen testified in support of the House’s proposed biennial capital budget.
The House’s capital budget provides funding for several projects across higher education. This includes funding for three projects at Evergreen – Lecture Hall Renovation Construction, Lab I Basement Construction funding, and Seminar I Renovation Predesign. The budget also provides authorization to purchase the Tacoma Campus property.
In addition the budget includes funds to support facilities preservation, minor works, and preventative facility maintenance and building system repairs.
Overall the budget supports Evergreen’s focus and commitment to responsible stewardship of our public facilities and infrastructure to meet current technological needs and demands, and to provide the needed facilities and infrastructure to provide a quality educational experience for students.
The House Capital Budget committee will take executive action on the budget tomorrow morning in Committee.
