The EUC supports over 20 bachelor's and master's degrees from public partner universities and colleges to the residents of Snohomish, Island and Skagit Counties.
On April 3, 2009, the University Center moved onto Everett Community College's main campus when Gray Wolf Hall opened.
Some of the features include five video conference rooms, two state-of-the-art computer labs, artwork suspended over the second floor bridge, a student lounge and a rain garden in the courtyard.
EvCC historically names its buildings after peaks of the Cascade and Olympic mountains.
The University Center is a product of 1997 state legislation that formed the North Snohomish-Island-Skagit (NSIS) Consortium of higher education institutions to create a flexible and innovative means for expanding higher education opportunities for residents of the three counties.
In 2005, the legislature named consortium member Everett Community College as manager of the University Center.
