Due to extreme market inflation from the pandemic, the cost to complete the Life Sciences Building came in above the original estimate. The Washington State Office of Financial Management provided supplemental funds to offset market inflation and WSU Vancouver spent over $4.5 million from reserves. Multiple anonymous donors were responsible for providing the rest of the needed funds to complete the building as planned.
