Whitworth University is constructing the $20 million PACCAR Engineering Building in Spokane, Wash. Integrus Architecture's vision for the two-story facility will provide approximately 21,000 sf of space arranged around three phases of the creative process. EXPLORE will include classrooms, seminar rooms, research labs, and administrative offices. DESIGN will incorporate a computational design lab and a prototyping suite, and MATERIALIZE will offer a metal fabrication shop and resources for working with other materials. A test and demonstration area will serve as a communal gathering venue.

Fostering mentoring and collaboration between faculty and students, this dynamic hub will also house Whitworth’s 16-year partnership with Washington NASA Space Grant Consortium and the university’s ongoing NASA CubeSat Launch Initiative work. Bouten Construction broke ground in May of 2024 on the project, which will join a growing science neighborhood on the northern edge of campus. Occupancy is anticipated in January of 2026.
