Whitehorse Hall - EvCC Arts and Sciences Building 2007
 About Whitehorse
Everett Community College's new $27 million arts, sciences and journalism building opened for classes Jan. 3, 2007 after seven years of planning and 16 months of construction. The three-level hall brings EvCC’s visual arts and physical sciences classes together under one roof and offers students expanded science labs and art studios. The 88,000 square foot building is the largest building on EvCC’s campus. It was built to replace Pilchuck, Monte Cristo and Glacier halls. All three were built in 1958.

| Description of Project: |
Construct state of the art classroom building |
Whitehorse Hall (Arts and Sciences Building) will be the largest building on campus. The current design is approximately 87,500 square feet (Parks is about 80,000 square feet and Shuksan is about 40,000 square feet). The building is 60 feet wide and about 300 feet long. Due to the topography of the site, the building is three stories on the east end and two stories on the west end.
This will be a great facility that will serve our students well. The facility has 35 classrooms, laboratories and studios and 25 offices. The instructional spaces will be modern and include a high level of technology - wireless and hard-wired computer network connections and teaching stations where appropriate. There will be wireless connections available throughout the building for students to use laptops. One feature that will be particularly beneficial to our students is the study areas. There is a formal study area that is over 1,000 square feet and many other opportunities for informal study sessions.
