Supporting Information: Report Attached 1 WESTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY OFFICE OF THE VICE PRESIDENT FOR UNIVERSITY RELATIONS AND MARKETING The following is a briefing on a wide range of online, print, social media, video and graphic design communications and marketing pieces produced since the last Trustees report. In addition, following are a few updates and new projects initiated since the division was reoriented this fall. • Bellingham Waterfront District Redevelopment Harcourt Development has completed construction on their first project, the adaptive reuse of the iconic Granary Building. In November, construction of the two main streets into the waterfront district – Granary Avenue and Laurel Street – began, while work on Waypoint Park near the Whatcom Waterway is set to begin this month. Construction of new trails and plans for a residential project are expected in the coming year. • Western Crossing-Hannegan Road Property Over the past several months, Western has completed a survey to ascertain the true useable acreage at the Hannegan Road property and to address environmental issues. The survey produced two areas that would have rendered the bottom property useless. We worked with an environmental engineer to have those areas removed, and we also worked with the city to reevaluate their proposed improvements to the property.
