From the 2026 Educational Interiors Showcase: College of Western Idaho, Health & Science Building

The project was recognized as an Outstanding Design in the Healthcare Facilities/Teaching Hospitals category in this year’s portfolio.

Key Highlights

  • Features advanced simulation suites, flexible labs, and diverse classroom settings to support experiential learning.
  • Designed to foster collaboration, mentorship, and real-world training opportunities for students and faculty.
  • Expanded mid-construction to accommodate rapid enrollment growth without disrupting ongoing programs.

Designed to support hands-on, experiential learning, the facility brings students, faculty and health care partners together in one connected environment. Advanced simulation suites, flexible labs, varied classroom settings, and welcoming study spaces create opportunities for collaboration, mentorship and real-world training. When rapid enrollment growth required the building to expand beyond its planned 45,000 square feet, the team worked closely with the college to build out additional space mid-construction, enabling programs to grow without disruption while positioning the campus for future phases.
