Project Overview

The University of Washington’s September, 2006 acquisition of more than a half million square feet of property in the University District, formerly held by Safeco Insurance, has provided the university with a landmark opportunity to improve the efficiency of the institution’s leased space portfolio, consolidate functions that were dispersed around the Puget Sound Region due to the former lease restrictions in the University District, and to set the stage for future redevelopment and reuse of released campus facilities. The property was acquired at a cost equal to approximately one-third the average cost of new construction.

New Photo ID Card Required!
Employees working in the UW Tower are required to get a new, photo ID card prior to moving. There is no cost as long as you have your old card.
If you had a UPASS on your ID card and need to get the pass replaced, you will need to go to Parking & Transportation Services located at 3901 University Way after receiving your replacement ID card.
- All new cards will include a photo.
- ID cards must be obtained in person.
- Employees obtaining an ID will need their EID number and a state or federally-issued photo ID such as a driver’s license or passport.
- Beginning September 1, 2007, a $10 non refundable fee will be charged for replacement IDs if your card has been lost.
