Capitol Renovation Complete | Vancouver News

After years of construction, Washington’s Capitol Campus is nearing completion of a $263 million renovation that’s transforming three historic buildings into modern, safer, and more functional spaces for lawmakers. The Irving R. Newhouse building, a 1934 temporary structure, is being replaced entirely to address overcrowding and outdated systems. The Joel Pritchard building—once home to the state library—is being gutted to make way for legislative offices, with its final phase set for summer completion and occupancy by October. The John L. O’Brien building, the last to be finished by mid-December, will cost over $12 million and complete the campus’s modernization. The project balances historic preservation with new public art and improved workspaces, all designed to help lawmakers better serve the public. Construction barriers will soon vanish, revealing a refreshed Capitol ready for the next legislative session.
