Updated June 4, 2009
The Capital Budget recently approved by the Legislature authorizes the Department of Information Services (DIS) to construct the new State Data Center and Office Building located on the Wheeler site in Olympia (east of Jefferson, south of 14th). Construction will begin this summer.
DIS held a community meeting on May 20th to update and engage interested members of the surrounding neighborhood about the project. Since then, DIS has presented updated materials to the Capitol Campus Design Advisory Committee (CCDAC) and the State Capitol Committee (SCC) about the project. To review the information shared at each of these meetings, visit the meeting materials section of the website.
This Week
A landscape specialist has started preservation efforts for the scenic red and pin oak trees on the site. These trees will be boxed and stored until they can be replanted and integrated into the final project landscaping. The fir trees along 14th Street are being removed, milled, and made into the wood boxes necessary to hold and help preserve the oaks. Read the full press release.
