At Central Washington University in Ellensburg, Washington, the student-led CWU Multicultural Center celebrated its grand opening on April 10. Requested by students and partially funded by student fees, the center provides dedicated space for student cultural groups, student support and community gathering. Through a series of student and staff workshops, Opsis Architecture and Mayer/Reed collaborated to integrate culturally meaningful form, pattern and graphic elements into the interior design. Vibrant wall graphics, glass patterns and a values wall celebrating campus programs contributes to the center’s welcoming and inclusive identity.
