As we approach the completion of the steel installation for our new CapEd Student Success Center, ESI will be placing the final beam next week on April 30.  

We invite you to participate in this milestone by signing the beam that will crown the new building. This piece represents more than just the final structural element — it stands as a symbol of growth, innovation, and the strong sense of community that defines College of Western Idaho (CWI). By signing it, you’re celebrating your vital role in supporting the success of our students.

Details for Signing 
8 a.m. – 4 p.m. 
Thursday, April 24 – Tuesday, April 29 
Facilities Office Parking, Willow Building A, (next to the Nampa Campus Academic Building (NCAB))  

Pens will be available at the Facilities Office for anyone who would like to sign the beam. This is a chance to leave your mark on a project impacting students and our community for generations.

Join us for a brief, informal gathering on Wednesday, April 30, at 10 a.m., as ESI installs the signed beam for the new CapEd Student Success Center. Faculty and staff are invited to come to watch this special moment in the building’s progress.
