Charter College Coming to Bakerview Square

BELLINGHAM, WA. November 23, 2009 – Bakerview Square is pleased to announce that Charter College will be a new anchor tenant in the latest phase of the commercial development.

Charter College will be the latest, and largest tenant at Bakerview Square. Their new Bellingham campus will encompass up to 23,000 square feet. Charter College offers career-focused education in the growing fields of Business, Health Care, Criminal Justice and Information Technology. They offer both degree and/or diploma programs. This enables students to start sooner and finish faster by providing hands-on training. This approach reinforces classroom and laboratory learning, with smaller class sizes where students have more interaction with the instructors.

Charter College has campuses in Alaska, California and the Tri-Cities area of Eastern Washington, along with on-line courses. Programs vary by campus location. The new Bellingham campus will open January 2010 via temporary classrooms in the Square, with the completion of the permanent space scheduled for February 2010.

“I am pleased to welcome Charter as an anchor tenant to Bakerview Square,” says Morgan Bartlett, developer of Bakerview Square. “Charter’s 500 students/faculty will enjoy the retail/restaurant/services of the Square, and our existing and future tenants will benefit greatly from the increased traffic. It’s a true win-win”.
