West Campus Conference Center: Yakima Valley College

YVC’s West Campus Expansion transformed three aging commercial buildings into a new Conference Center, Allied Health Building, Yakima Valley Vintner’s Tasting Room, and the Larson Gallery.  Each building has its own character, however a common thread is present in the buildings. The clerestory windows on the north and south elevations of each building allow natural light to penetrate into the core. The transparency of each building reflects the college’s spirit of accessibility and innovation as well as allowing each building to embrace its surroundings by joining the character of the campus.

The Conference Center is home to multiple reconfigurable meeting spaces equipped with state-of-the-art technology designed to serve the needs of the college and wider community.  An exterior event space west of the Center is designed to support gatherings of all kinds.
