WWU renames building at marine center to honor late president

Western Western Washington University will rename a building at its Shannon Point Marine Center in Anacortes in honor of late President Emeritus Jerry Flora, who died late in 2013 at age 85.

The former Marine Science Education Building will now be known as the Charles J. (Jerry) Flora Marine Education Building. The change was made with a unanimous vote at the board of trustees’ Dec. 12 meeting on campus.
