The 132,000-square-foot residence hall sits on the main campus and can accommodate 400 students in a mix of one-, two- and four-bedroom suites and apartments, and offers a variety of areas for studying and socializing.
We sent our student
marketing assistant,
Walter Garrido,
to explore the new
residence hall with
fellow student (and
resident) Emily Shih.
Here’s what he thought.
Having easy access to bus routes is a great way to get around downtown Bellevue and Seattle.
There’s a public area with a pizza café where students choose their own toppings, and then the pizza is cooked in a built-in brick oven.
The building design, which is open and colorful, offers a variety of study and social areas. Some spaces have whiteboards—a great way to collaborate on group projects.
Every unit has a kitchen, and inside the bedrooms are bunkbeds with the mattress on top and a study nook below.
The fitness room and outdoor terrace face Courter Field. Students can easily catch a game. There are also great walking trails around campus. I’d live here!
Student Success Center Set to Open in 2020
In August 2018, the Bellevue College community and local leaders celebrated the groundbreaking of the new Student Success Center. Slated for completion in early 2020, the project will create an integrated and seamless service experience for students by housing multiple support programs in one state-of-the-art facility. It will be prominently located at the main entrance to the college, making it easy for new students, and visitors, to get more information about the institution.
