Category: Agreements & Reports

This is the first annual report on physical development under the University of Washington’s Seattle Campus Master Plan as approved by the Seattle City Council in February 2019. The report is structured to respond to reporting requirements found in the City University Agreement (Ordinance 121193); the ordinance approving the Campus Master Plan (Ordinance 125733); and the Conditions of Approval attached to that ordinance. This report covers January through December 2019.

2020 Annual Report

In this reporting period, two sites have been selected by the University of Washington for development: S40 (Health Sciences Education Building) and C4 (Founders Hall). However, no projects have been completed during this time. The University measured a 18.2% single occupancy vehicle rate, which is a decline of 0.7% since 2018. In July 2019, the University began offering a fully subsidized U-Pass to 14,000 Classified Staff and Academic Student Employees. As this the beginning of a new Master Plan, most Conditions of Approval have not been completed yet.

Linked below is the University of Washington’s 2003 Seattle Campus Master Plan Annual Report covering the period from January 1 through December 31, 2018. This report is required by the City University Agreement (Ordinance 121193) and is sent to the City Council, CUCAC and SDCI for review.

2019 Annual Report

During this reporting period, the amount of space leased by the University within the University District Northwest Urban Center Village (UDNUCV) area increased slightly by 500 square feet, bringing the total to 307,339. Total leasing in the Primary & Secondary Impact Zones (which includes the UDNUCV) is now 369,974 square feet.

The University continued to support the University District Partnership and the University District Business Improvement area through the voluntary contribution of money and staff time. The University also continued its work through the North of 45th Committee to improve the neighborhoods north of campus. This work included University of Washington Police Department (UWPD) patrols, community meetings, and neighborhood cleanups. The University continued working on the Doorway Project in partnership with community-based non-profits. This project is meant to increase service capacity through student placements in community-based non-profits and, in the long-term, establish more effective pathways to stability and housing for young people experiencing homelessness. In 2018-2019, work included “pop-up services cafés” to engage homeless youth in the neighborhood who are not yet service-connected.
