Snippet: 
Everett Community College’s newest building will be named Cascade Learning Resource Center. Cascade Hall was the name of the student center that was destroyed by arson in 1987 along with the college’s library. The fire killed Everett Firefighter Gary Parks. The EvCC building naming committee liked the connection between the new building and EvCC campus history. EvCC’s Board of Trustees approved the name on June 22. The name also continues the college tradition of naming buildings after the peaks of the Cascade and Olympic mountain ranges. The name refers to both a peak in the Cascade Range, Cascade Mountain, and to the entire range located east of campus. The peak has a variety of geographical features, and the building will have a variety of programs and services.
