College of Western Idaho’s (CWI) Nampa Campus is getting close to opening the doors to it’s new Health and Science Building and the Agricultural Sciences Complex. These state-of-the-industry spaces represent a major investment in the future of education and training in the Treasure Valley and will bring several programs and services onto one campus this fall — better supporting students and faculty.
Programs and departments currently housed at various CWI locations will soon call these new buildings home, with the goal of creating more cohesive, accessible, and modern learning environments. CWI’s Facilities Planning and Management team has been hard at work coordinating the details of programs moving and logistics of these buildings being ready to open for classes this fall.
The Health and Science Building will consolidate several healthcare programs currently located across three campuses. Programs currently preparing to move into the new space include: Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), Dental Assisting, Medical Assistant, Occupational Therapy Assistant, Physical Therapist Assistant, Registered Nursing, Practical Nursing, Surgical Technology, and Surgical First Assistant.
The Agricultural Sciences Complex will unite the College’s Horticulture Technology and Agricultural and Natural Sciences programs. The transition of the Horticulture Program from Boise to Nampa will begin in mid-May and will improve access for students and strengthen collaboration between instructional and hands-on learning experiences.
Faculty and staff have already begun preparing for the move, with furniture delivery, labeling, and equipment inventory underway to ensure a smooth transition.
These projects reflect more than just physical moves — they demonstrate CWI’s strategic vision to grow alongside the communities it serves. With new spaces tailored for collaboration, innovation, and student success.
As work progresses, the College is committed to keeping stakeholders informed. Regular updates will be shared with faculty, staff, and students. CWI is excited to usher in this new chapter and remains grateful for the continued support of our community, partners, and team members who are making these transformative projects possible.
