WSU negotiating for on-campus hotel, convention center
A hotel and convention center could be built on the Washington State University campus in Pullman, if negotiations between a California developer and the university are successful.
WSU’s board of regents approved a plan Friday to begin negotiations with Sonnenblick-Del Rio Development for the sale of 7.5 acres of WSU property, according to a news release. The Brentwood, Calif., company wants to build a 125-room Hilton hotel and 10,000- to 12,000-square-foot convention center on the site, which is at the northeast end of campus, east of the Student Recreation Center.
