Orcas to share Pavilion with WWU volleyball, basketball teams

When Whatcom Community College students began raising the idea of expanding and improving the Whatcom Pavilion 10 to 15 years ago, it was because there simply was not enough space. Now that the $13 million project is nearing completion and the Pavilion is nearly twice as large, it seemly has enough space for just about everybody.

The Pavilion previously hosted the Bellingham Slam and Bellingham Roller Betties, among others, and the newly renovated facility will welcome a whole new tenant now that construction is done. The Western Washington University volleyball and men’s and women’s basketball teams will call the Pavilion home for the next 18 months to two years while the Carver Academic Facility undergoes its own $70 million revitalization.
