Clark’s STEM building won a prestigious accolade on July 22, 2015, during the Vancouver Business Journal’s annual Top Project Award ceremony.

Clark and its construction partner, Skanska, took home the Top Project Award in the Public Works category for the $37 million classroom and lab project.

The ceremony, which was held on Clark’s main campus in the shadow of the construction of the largest classroom building, was attended by about 100 local leaders in business, state government and nonprofit organizations.

The annual accolade presented by the local business publication recognizes major projects – from commercial to  public works to residential – that stimulate the region’s economy.

The building is scheduled to open in summer 2016. Click here to view a web cam of the project.
