The College of Western Idaho recently held a beam signing event to commemorate the completion of its new Health & Science building at the Nampa campus. This marks the first expansion since the college’s establishment in 2007. The new building will bring together all resources under one roof for the convenience of students and faculty, centralizing the health department.
Former student Nichelle Boyce, who earned her degree in Surgical Technology from CWI, expressed her excitement about the new expansion. She highlighted how having all professors in one location would make it easier for students to access assistance and resources. Boyce emphasized how convenient it would be to have all necessary resources in one place, eliminating the need to navigate several buildings for core credits.
The college aims to improve collaboration among students by consolidating the health department into a single building. This move is seen as crucial to enhancing student learning outcomes and preparing future healthcare professionals. Vice Chair Trustee Cherie Buckner-Webb stressed the importance of expanding the health department to meet the growing demand for healthcare professionals not only in Idaho but worldwide.
Overall, completing the Health & Science building signifies a significant step towards modernizing the college’s facilities and enhancing the learning experience for students pursuing healthcare careers. The community eagerly awaits the positive impact this expansion will have on future healthcare professionals’ education.
