ae oward New Heights. In 1987-88. no other words could more accurately depict the University of Washington than these three. In a literal sense, both the UW and Seattle were building toward new heights. On campus, remodeling work in the Student Union Building (HUB) and other buildings ensured that these buildings would remain tall and proud. Reconstruction of the Husky Stadium seating addition, which had collapsed in February, 1987, was completed in time for the start of the fall football season. Off-campus too, this building toward new heights was seen everywhere. In the University District, new office buildings and a new retail complex — including a 10-screen movie theater — were constructed. In downtown Seattle, dynamic growth was evident in the number of construction projects under way.

New buildings were planned to join the recently completed Columbia Center — the tallest building west of the Mississippi River. But building toward new heights was not limited to construction only. Figuratively, the UW continued in its role as leader in a variety of fields while constantly seeking to reach even higher. The Washington State Higher Education Board developed a Master Plan to guide the UW into the next century. The plan included proposals to build branch campuses of the UW and to expand the university’s graduate program. In academics, the UW, well known for its research work, continued to reach toward new heights. Whether it was searching for an AIDS cure, developing new surgery techniques, or investigating the life of Shakespeare, the UW was well represented in this drive to attain new knowledge.
