Campus tour
Student Union Building (SUB). The Student Union and Recreation Center is Central's largest building-228,261 square feet in three stories centrally located on campus, with easy access to parking lots and malls, primary city streets, academic buildings and residence halls. This one of a kind facility combines an expanded Student Union and a fully operational Recreation Center. This $58-million facility is truly spectacular and a testament to the cooperative community that exists on our campus.
The music education building must be experienced to be fully appreciated. Both the visual and acoustical qualities of our building have elevated the standards for educational facilities across the country. Our premiere 600 seat concert hall provides an unparalleled environment for musical performances. Having been designed with a "no compromise" approach, every seat in the house provides incredible sonic detail. With adjustable curtains, reflection time can be altered depending on the desired acoustic effect.
Nicholson Pavilion is where PE classes are taught and CWU Wildcats basketball games are played. Intramural sports like volleyball, badminton, pickleball, and racquetball are done in the afternoon after classes are done. Dance groups and aerobics are taught in the back of the pavilion.
The PE building is where Mr. Goss took anatomy, PE pedagogy (teaching), kinesiology(study of movement), and exercise science classes.
This is located between the Pavilion and Psychology building and nearby the small duplex we lived in for a couple years.
Our duplex was only 630 square feet. The ROTC building is right next to it. I saw a helicopter landed there once and it was very loud.
Chimpanzee Facts from the chimposium
One hundred years ago, there were approximately five million chimpanzees living on the African continent. Since then, free-living chimpanzee populations have been decimated as humans have destroyed African tropical forests, hunted the chimpanzees for food, and captured thousands of chimpanzees for sale to American and European laboratories, circuses, and zoos. Today, the chimpanzee is an endangered species, and scientists estimate that there are only between 80,000 and 130,000 chimpanzees left in the entire world.
Chimpanzees are not monkeys. The chimpanzee is humankind's closest living relative and a member of the great ape family, along with baboons, gorillas and orangutans. Chimpanzees and humans are "sibling species"-- two species that are virtually identical in their genetic makeup. Chimpanzees share 98.76% of human DNA.
Free-living chimpanzees are indigenous only to Africa, can have a life-span of more than 50 years, and can weigh up to 200 pounds in captivity. Chimpanzees have demonstrated cooperative problem-solving, the representational use of numbers, and the ability to comprehend and use American Sign Language and artificial languages.
Washoe, the subject of Next of Kin, was one of NASA's "space chimpanzees." In the late 1950s, the U.S. Air Force captured more than 100 chimpanzees in the African jungle and began using them to test the effects of space flight. These space chimpanzees--or chimponauts--were made famous by Ham, the first chimpanzee in space (January 1961) and Enos, the chimpanzee who orbited the earth (November 1961) in advance of John Glenn. Later the Air Force abandoned Ham, Enos, and others to biomedical research.
There are approximately 1,400 chimpanzees available as biomedical research subjects living in the United States. Scientists have used them to test everything from lethal pesticides to cancer-causing industrial solvents, from yellow fever to HIV.
Research
Q. How do the chimpanzees use ASL?
A. Under double-blind conditions, we have found that the chimpanzees communicate information in American Sign Language (ASL) to human observers. They use signs to refer to natural language categories: e.g. DOG for any dog, FLOWER for any flower, SHOE for any shoe, etc. The chimpanzees acquire and spontaneously use their signs to communicate with humans and each other about the normal course of surrounding events. They have demonstrated an ability to invent new signs or combine signs to metaphorically label a novel item, for example: calling a radish CRY HURT FOOD or referring to a watermelon as a DRINK FRUIT. In a double-blind condition, the chimpanzees can comprehend and produce novel prepositional phrases, understand vocal English words, translate words into their ASL glosses and even transmit their signing skills to the next generation without human intervention. Their play behavior has demonstrated that they use the same types of imaginary play as humans. It has also been demonstrated that they carry on chimpanzee-to-chimpanzee conversation and sign to themselves when alone. Conversational research shows the chimpanzees initiate and maintain conversations in ways that are like humans. The chimpanzees can repair a conversation if there is misunderstanding. They will also sign to themselves when alone and we have even observed them to sign in their sleep. It is reported that Washoe could reliably use about 250 signs.
Q. Does anyone ever go into the enclosure with the chimpanzees?
A. NO! No one is allowed inside the enclosure with the chimpanzees. Humans and chimpanzees do not make good physical companions. Chimpanzees are not only five-to-seven times stronger than humans (eight-to-ten times stronger in their upper bodies alone), they also have denser bones and thicker skin. In all types of interactions, chimpanzees must restrain themselves to avoid hurting humans. In play, chimpanzees regularly throw, slap and play bite each other.
Q. How do the chimpanzees react to visitors?
A. Each chimpanzee reacts differently to visitors and the reaction of each chimpanzee changes from day to day. At times, they appear interested in the visitors and may come to the window to sign and interact. At other times, they may be resting or interacting with each other. Much like humans, they are not always ready for guests. We have found that limiting the length of observation time helps reduce the chimpanzees' stress level.
Q. How old are these chimpanzees?
The chimpanzees living at CHCI are all adults:
• Washoe was probably born in September of 1965, celebrates her birthday on June 21st - the "Project Washoe" anniversary. Washoe died at CHCI on October 30, 2007.
• Tatu was born on December 30, 1975.
• Dar was born on August 2, 1976.
• Loulis was born on May 10, 1978.
• Moja was born on November 18, 1972. Moja died at CHCI on June 6, 2002.
Q. What are their family relationships?
A. Dar and Loulis (males) relate to Tatu (female) as brothers to a sister.
Q. How did the chimpanzees acquire their signs?
A. Washoe was raised as if she were a deaf child by Beatrix and Allen Gardner at the University of Nevada in Reno from 1966 to 1970. Roger Fouts joined the project as a graduate student in 1967. Washoe, acquired at the age of 10 months, was immediately immersed in American Sign Language with a socially enriched environment where she soon learned to use ASL in daily interactions with her human companions. Moja, Dar and Tatu were immersed in ASL in a similar fashion. In 1979, Loulis, the adopted son of Washoe, was the focus of "Project Loulis," designed by Roger and Deborah Fouts to examine if an infant chimpanzee would acquire signs from his mother. Humans were prohibited from signing around Loulis until 1984, when it had been verified that he had acquired his signs from his mother and the other chimpanzees.
The library is next to the International center where many students from Asia come to learn English and Americans can learn many elements of Japanese and Chinese culture. Mr. Goss has a friend that has been teaching English in China for 9 years.
Michaelsen Hall is where different visual arts are taught. This includes ceramics, graphic design, jewelry/metals, drawing, painting, photography, sculpture, and wood design.

Central Washington University originally opened up as Washington State Normal School in 1892. The school was founded to educate future elementary and junior high teachers. In 1893, the Washington State Normal School's first building was constructed and given the name Barge Hall. Before 1894, classes were held at the Washington Public School in Ellensburg.[3]
The school's name changed to Central Washington College of Education in 1937, Central Washington State College in 1961, and finally to Central Washington University in 1977. It continues to be one of the fastest growing universities in the state of Washington.
Kamola Hall was named in honor of the daughter of the Kittitas Native American Chief Owhi. Properly spelled 'Quo-mallah,' she was said to be the favorite daughter of Chief Owhi and was known and respected throughout the Pacific Northwest.
Kamola was the first residence hall built on the Central Washington University campus in Ellensburg. Constructed in stages between 1910 and 1920, it is CWU's second oldest building remaining today. The building was fully remodeled in 2003 with extreme care in keeping as many historic details as possible.
Tunstall Commons is the dining hall I worked at for 3 months from 6-8am winter quarter. Luckily I only had to ride my bike in the snow about 5 minutes to get to work.
Theatre-Craig T. Nelson went to CWU. He is the voice of the dad on The Incredibles.
Boullion Hall testing and assessment on the left.
Black Hall/education/special education where I spent many hours on the right.
Japanese gardens where my daughter and I would spend time relaxing and sharing snacks.
Ellensburg is a stop on the PRCA professional rodeo circuit, occurring each year on Labor Day weekend. The Ellensburg Rodeo has been a town tradition since 1923, and is the largest rodeo in Washington State. I have heard that the city of Ellensburg doubles its population when the Rodeo is in town.

|Settler William "Bud" Wilson had the first claim and built the first log cabin in 1868 where Ellensburg now stands.|
|Cowboys A.J. Splawn and Ben Burch moved a 14 x 18 hewn log house to a spot nearby so they could open it as a store |
|in 1870. John Gillispie, a young settler, made a sign for the store and dubbed it "Robber's Roost." Settlers were |
|few and the post depended on trade in furs and horses with Native Americans to buy supplies. |
| |
|In 1872, John A. Shoudy bought the store and 160 acres of land. A Civil War veteran, he had come to the valley in |
|1871 as part of a business plan of his family in Seattle to create an improved road connection with the Yakima |
|country. In 1873, John started postal service in Ellensburgh. John and his wife Mary Ellen platted the town and it |
|was officially filed in April 1875. John named the new town Ellensburgh for his wife (Third Street in the late |
|1800s, pictured above). |
|Between 1878 and 1883, the town grew dramatically. A bank was established, Hook and Ladder Company Number 1 was |
|organized, the first newspaper, Kittitas Localizer, was published July 12, 1883. |
| |
|With a population of 2,768, Ellensburgh became the county seat of Kittitas County formed in 1883. The City of |
|Ellensburgh was first incorporated on November 26, 1883 under a territorial act effective January 1, 1884. A second|
|Charter of Incorporation was enacted by the Legislative Assembly of the Territory of Washington on January 28, |
|1886. City government was officially formed with the first election on February 26, and the first council meeting |
|on March 2, 1886. In 1889, Ellensburgh became the home of Washington State Normal School (pictured above in 1900), |
|now Central Washington University. It opened in 1891, and now enrolls more than 7,000 students. |
|[pic] |
|The first train of the Northern Pacific Railroad reached Ellensburgh March 31, 1886 (pictured above, in 1911), |
|helping to fuel a boom in building and population. The first telephone was installed in 1889 to connect two |
|downtown stores. |
|[pic] |
|It wasn't until 1889 that Washington became a State, and Ellensburgh could have become the capital if a fire had |
|not destroyed most of the city on July 4, 1889. The fire started in J.S. Anthony's Grocery store on the east side |
|of Main Street, between Fourth and Fifth. Over two hundred homes and ten-city block were lost to the flames. News |
|reports of the day valued the damaged property at over two million dollars. |
|The town recovered quickly, with brick buildings rising to replace the former wood ones (such as the Washington |
|National Bank, pictured above in 1910). Within ten days of the fire, Ellensburg citizens began work on forty-three |
|new downtown business blocks. In rebuilding the town, many owners worked together to coordinate the style of the |
|new buildings, all constructed almost completely of fireproof brick. One local brick manufacturer produced over |
|forty thousand bricks a day, but was still unable to keep up with the demand. |
|[pic] |
|The fire came at a time of prosperity and over-speculation in the valley. Many local businessmen invested heavily |
|in the reconstruction, and this worsened the financial recession that occurred in the mid-1890s. |
|Ellensburg was a pioneer among Washington cities in building public infrastructure. The first water system, and the|
|City's sewer system - one of the first in Washington - was installed in 1889. The City purchased the private |
|electric lighting system from John Shoudy in 1890. The post office changed the spelling of the town's name to |
|Ellensburg in 1894. The public library was begun in 1910. New industry included a woolen mill (pictured above, in |
|the early 1900s) and other agricultural industries. |
|[pic] |
|By the 1920s, Pearl (above) and Main streets and adjoining 3rd and 4th streets were at the heart of a handsome |
|commercial district, lined with fine brick buildings, and serving as the economic hub of Central Washington. Today,|
|many of these buildings survive, along with the traditional triple-globe street lamps that still light the downtown|
|streets of Ellensburg. |
