News Brief: Welcome Center sets opening date

On Monday Central Washington University President James Gaudino announced the March 1 soft opening of the newly created CWU Wildcat Welcome Center located west of campus on University Way.

Gaudino said he hopes the new center will be a highly visible information center for visitors, prospective students, alumni and staff. Visitors will be able to pick up campus maps or daily parking permit, check in or arrange a campus tour and purchase tickets for campus events.

The university will be renting the facility for the next five years with the first year’s rent being $2,500 a month in addition to the estimated $150,000 - $200,000 being spent on renovations and signage.

Gaudino hopes the center will increase Central’s accessibility and help to get the word out about the university.

A grand opening celebration is planned for 4 p.m. on April 22.
