CWI Invites Community to Help Shape Nampa Campus

Published: August 13, 2026

College of Western Idaho (CWI) is planning for the future and invites students, faculty, staff, alumni, neighbors, business partners, and community members to be part of the conversation.

CWI will host two open houses Tuesday, Aug. 25, at the Nampa Campus Academic Building (NCAB), Room 122, to kick off an update to the CWI Master Plan. The process will help shape the next chapter of CWI’s Nampa Campus, and the College wants to hear from those who learn, work, live, and do business in the community. One session will be dedicated to CWI students, while the other will be open to the entire community.

The update comes on the heels of a major milestone for the College: the transfer of the Ford Idaho Center from the City of Nampa, which has nearly doubled the Nampa Campus footprint to 190 acres.

Open House Details

Tuesday, August 25
Nampa Campus Academic Building (NCAB), Room 122

Community Session

Tuesday, August 25
Nampa Campus Academic Building (NCAB), Room 122

Through interactive displays, polling activities, and facilitated discussions, attendees will have the chance to review potential master plan concepts, share their priorities, and help identify what matters most for students and the broader community.

Feedback gathered during the open houses will help inform the updated Master Plan and how CWI’s Nampa Campus takes shape in the years ahead.
