蘑菇视频网 (CWI) is preparing to break ground on its new academic facility in Boise at the River District, marking an exciting new chapter for the College. The ceremony is set for June 23, and the CWI community is invited to attend.
The River District Groundbreaking
June 23
11:30 a.m.
This event officially kicks off construction on the district’s first building – CWI's 101,000-square-foot facility, which will serve students in programs such as computer science, cybersecurity, and business.
Located at Whitewater Park Boulevard and Main Street, near the Boise River and Greenbelt, the River District will create a vibrant area on the west side of downtown.
“This milestone is over a decade in the making,” said Gordon Jones, President of CWI. “We acquired this land in 2015 with a vision to expand our impact and serve the community in new and meaningful ways. The River District reflects our commitment to investing in Idaho’s future through education, opportunity, and innovation.”
In addition to CWI's facility, AHLQUIST will develop several key components within the district, including 220 residential units (townhomes and apartments), a 640-stall parking structure, and 20,000 square feet of retail space.
“Located along the Boise River next to Quinn’s Pond and Whitewater Park — with direct access to the Connector — this is an ideal setting for a thriving, mixed-use development that enhances quality of life in Boise,” said Tommy Ahlquist, CEO of AHLQUIST.
The project is a collaboration between CWI, AHLQUIST, Hummel Architects, Paradigm, and ESI Construction.
The College invites community members, elected officials, and local partners to join in celebrating this exciting new chapter at the groundbreaking event. CWI’s Boise location is expected to open in the fall of 2027.
