The Center has secured the vacation - or purchase - of Yale Avenue North, from Fairview Avenue North to Aloha Street as part of future Day Campus development.

The approval came last week from the Seattle City Council.

The section of Yale from Aloha to Ward Street will be closed to allow for extension of the to-be-constructed Public Health Sciences Division building, on the site of the current Yale Building, said Scott Rusch, director of Facilites and Operations Administration.

The section from Ward Street to Fairview will be developed as a campus driveway, he said.

Rusch said the Center is also working with the city to secure vacation of Ward Street from Yale to Fairview, eventually for continued development of a campus driveway.
