State-of-the-art facility educating residents in advanced manufacturing

The John W. Walstrum Center for Advanced Manufacturing Technology (CAMT) represents a regional vision and years of planning between Washington State agencies and Clover Park Technical College. This state-of-the-art facility aims to educate and train South Sound residents in advanced manufacturing careers, including mechatronics, CNC, manual manufacturing, non-destructive testing, and composites.

The design-build team faced an aggressive project schedule and high expectations as the first major design-build project for the Washington State Board of Community and Technical Colleges. Despite a $1.3M budget reduction, the team preserved the design concept through efficient collaboration and value engineering. The 63,000 SF, LEED Silver-certified CAMT was completed three weeks ahead of schedule, featuring extensive site enhancements and over 12,000 LF of pedestrian sidewalks to support the campus community.
