The first Washington Network for Innovation Careers (WaNIC) high school skills center is also co-located in this three-story facility. Achieving LEED™ Silver certification the design incorporates medicinal and healing plants that reflect the Allied Health Building’s academic programs and that support the Environmental Horticulture program.
