Innovation Hall (STEM4 Building)

The Cascadia College / UW Bothell campus is expanding to meet the needs of our students and our future workforce.


The next generations of Cascadia students will learn the fundamentals of chemistry, engineering, and computer technologies, and prepare for upper-division courses in a state-of-the-art facility used in partnership with University of Washington Bothell.

Innovation Hall is the first academic building in the country to be shared by a community college and a state university. It is purposely designed to encourage our students – especially those who have historically been excluded from opportunities in STEM fields -- to explore careers by highlighting the pathways leading to them.


Support for Innovation Hall will strengthen our local community by:
• Educating students from the Lake Washington, Northshore, and Riverview school districts
• Supporting learning environments designed to foster active learning, innovation, and collaboration
• Creating a pipeline of students who begin college at Cascadia and complete at UW Bothell
• Supplying a highly-educated workforce to our local industries
• Diversifying the population of students who graduate with STEM degrees
