When does the Spokane Center Higher Education Building close?

The Spokane Center closed fall quarter 2007.

 

Is there a buyer for the building?

The building has been sold for $3.4 million to Real Estate Advisory Services, Inc. of Portland, Ore.

 

Where will students park?

In campus lots, for which buying a permit will be necessary. Permits may be purchased in the Parking Services office in the South Campus Facility (the building that houses the WSU Bookie, on the south side of Spokane Falls Blvd.).

 

Please be aware that the owners of the Schade Tower and the building at 534 E. Spokane Falls Blvd. police their lots actively, and people who park in those lots and walk across Spokane Falls Blvd. to campus buildings are apt to find their cars towed.

 

Where will guests park?

One-hour parking available on Riverpoint Blvd. is patrolled by the City of Spokane.

 

Campus policy is that all visitors attending an event or meeting on campus must have a parking permit or use a meter to park in campus lots.  Those visiting campus can obtain a scratch-off parking permit for dashboards at a cost that varies depending on which lots they want to park in, and whether they purchase a one-day pass or a 10-day pass. More information.

 

Permits can be purchased by contacting Parking Services, rpparking@wsu.edu, and then mailed (or e-mailed, for the e-pass) to attendees to place on their dashboards. This process works well for gatherings such as meetings of our various board members or outside groups when we know who is attending.

 

The south campus yellow lot now has a multi-spaced pay station (“pay and display”).  Rates will match the meters. The advantage over a meter is that you can purchase parking with coin, bills, and debit/credit cards. The machine prints out a ticket that you stick to the inside of your window.

 

A bulk rate for one-day e-passes at $1 each is available only for department/university sponsored events such as a conference, large meeting, or special class. It is purchased by EWU departments through an inter-agency transfer. It is not intended for individual visitors or for small meetings of one or two participants; those visitors should be directed to the meters or purchase a scratch-off permit at Parking Services. E-passes provide a campus map and driving directions.

 

The Washington Administrative Code does not allow the universities to provide “free” parking.  On rare occasions and for limited periods of time parking enforcement has been waived for large-scale, public events when the universities do not know in advance who is attending and in cases when enforcement would create poor relations with community members invited to campus. Waived enforcement is limited to a short list of activities such as groundbreaking, dedications, commencement, congressional town hall meetings, and a large-scale activity that has no advance communication mechanism to explain the parking system or distribute passes

 

Where will students sign up for classes?

Students sign up for classes in the Phase I Classroom Building.

 

How are room reservations booked for meetings?

This page contains reservation information, as well as the Riverpoint Facilities Use Policy (adopted in January 2006 following extensive review by WSU and EWU) and links to the room request form.

 

EWU is not charged room fees for university-sponsored events, but fees can be assessed for services such as equipment, IT assistance, etc. Current contact information is listed at the site.

 

How are technology connections (computer, accounts, phones, faxes) arranged?

 

For people moving into the Phase I Classroom Building:

 

To activate a phone or computer port, submit requests to the Spokane IT Help Desk.

 

For people moving into leased space:

People will have same phone numbers as they had at Higher Education Center. Computer connections will be made through the fiber link distribution network shared by EWU and WSU (like Riverpoint I)

 

For classroom technology support at Riverpoint:

Initial arrangements are made as part of classroom scheduling requests, through Jane Rudd, WSU Spokane Student Services, 509.358.7536.

 

For special event technology support at Riverpoint:

Technology requests connected with special events are arranged for as part of the facilities scheduling request. Form and more information.

 

For technology support for personal laptops, office computers, and wireless access:

Contact the EWU help desk in Cheney, 509.359.2247.

 

Who do I contact for keys, furniture and furnishing changes, maintenance, custodial services?

 

Contact Facilities Operations at 358-7994 for assistance.

 

Who do I contact for mail pick-up, package pick-up and delivery, special handling services?

This is one of the operational issues that will be resolved the first week or so of school. Workers are in the process of creating room for mail slots, but there will be an all-tenant meeting where a comprehensive list will be made and presented to Ron Dalla.

 

What is the format for mailing and shipping addresses in Riverpoint Campus buildings?

 

The mailing address will be:

RPO (Riverpoint One)

501 N. Riverpoint Blvd.

Suite #425

Or P.O. Box 425

Spokane, WA  99202

 

What are the policies/rules about decorating offices, hanging notices and flyers, etc.?

 

To post items on public bulletin boards: Boards that have a sign that says “for Student Affairs use only” need approval from Student Affairs staff in the Academic Center. Other public area bulletin boards are fine for people to post on. You are asked to help keep bulletin boards useable by removing items that are past their useful life.

 

In public or common areas: Do not post on walls, doors, and other surfaces.

 

In your office: Contact Facilities Operations for assistance to determine appropriate hanging mechanism to support your artwork without damaging walls.

 

Where can I get information on Riverpoint Campus in general?

 

The Riverpoint Campus website is maintained by WSU Spokane as a resource for staff and visitors of EWU, Sirti, WSU, and others coming to campus. It includes links to parking information, event calendars, room reservation forms, and other informational pages.

 

What are construction plans for more buildings at Riverpoint?


The 2007/2009 biennium will include the pre-design and design phase for the next building to be constructed at Riverpoint. Funding for these phases will come from the sale of the current Spokane Center Higher Education Building. 

 

A campus master plan update will be developed during 2007–2008, along with detailed academic plans; both will help shape future building requests. A legislative request for construction funding goes through the process followed for all capital construction projects, in which the four-year college/university presidents prioritize a master list of projects statewide and support each other’s projects as prioritized.

 

What promotional ideas will be done to announce and inform community about the move?

 

These are under development, with assistance from the University District Marketing Communications Work Group.
