South Seattle College is now in the process of building a $32 million, 57,500 sq. ft, Integrated Education Center. The funds for the project came from the Capital Budget Allocation from the State of Washington.
The project consists of a new three-story education building and approximately 4 acres of onsite site pedestrian, vehicular and utility improvements.
The new 57,550 square foot Integrated Education Center replaces the existing Cascade Court Building and provides for expanding growth in the Health Care Programs and needs for basic skills training. The facility will accommodate approximately 140 new Full Time Equivalent students (FTE’s).
The plan is for the new building to be complete in May 2017 and through the summer SSC will be moving staff, faculty and infrastructure in.
They plan to officially open the IEC to students in Fall Quarter 2017
The IEC will provide for expanded growth in the college's health care programs and needs for basic skills training, which includes English as a Second Language (ESL), adult basic education and high school completion.
