Kaiser Borsari Hall Tour (optional)
Take a tour of Western's newest building, completed in January 2025. Kaiser Borsari Hall, Western’s new electrical and computer engineering, energy science, and computer science building, offers unique opportunities for students across disciplines through its net-zero energy and carbon design, state-of-the-art labs and experiential learning spaces, active learning classrooms, and collaboration spaces. The facility is the first publicly funded zero-energy academic building on a university campus in Washington State and is the first U.S. higher education STEM building to pursue Zero Energy and Zero Carbon certification.
The Multicultural Center
Through the advocacy work of Western students, the Multicultural Center opened in 2019 and allowed for an expansion of Ethnic Student Center (ESC), the Student Advocacy and Identity Resource Centers (SAIRC) and more. The ESC is made up of different clubs all working together to Affirm identities, Build a sense of community and Cultivate leadership. For over 30 years the ESC has been home away from home for many students of Color on Western's campus.
