Join us for a Member Hosted AM at the new campus of University of Western States. Part of the program will include a Ribbon Cutting.
University of Western States (UWS) is relocating its campus to 82nd Avenue and NE Tillamook Street. The five-acre property includes a 150,000-square-foot building constructed in 2006 that formerly housed the corporate headquarters of Banfield Pet Hospital. The impressive facility offers an innovative and versatile space that features active learning spaces, hands-on laboratories, expanded meeting rooms, dedicated study settings, and dynamic work areas for faculty and staff. The new campus showcases a modern health care facility designed to fulfill patient needs and provide exceptional opportunities for clinical training.
Founded in 1904, UWS offers health science and health care professions education in chiropractic medicine, human nutrition and functional medicine, sports medicine, diagnostic imaging, sport and performance psychology, and clinical mental health counseling. University students from across the nation and around the world complete their studies both on campus and online. UWS currently employs more than 150 on-campus employees, enrolls more than 1,200 students, and continues to grow and expand.
In April 2018, the UWS Board of Trustees announced its search for additional campus space to support the growth and diversification of the university, and placed the current 20-acre, 10-building campus on the real estate market. In November 2018, Linfield College School of Nursing revealed it had purchased the current UWS campus. UWS will lease the campus from Linfield College through April 2020. The university is relocating the entire institution and operations including all students and departments by early 2020.
Congratulations to the University of Western States!
