North Creek Events Center
 The North Creek Events Center is a co-located CCC/UWB event and meeting venue utilized by both institutions and available for rental by outside groups. Situated on the east edge of the center of campus, it overlooks the 58-acre wetlands and has a large exterior deck for outdoor seating or standing. The NCEC is handicapped-accessible.
Wheelchair Access to the North Creek Events Center
 There are several ways to access the North Creek Events Center (NCEC).
From the South Garage
Visitors who park in the South Garage (probably the easiest for individual vans), cross the street and proceed north on the promenade until they reach the bridge next to the bookstore leading to the North Creek Events Center.
 From the North Garage
Visitors who park in the North Garage, have two options: to go up the walkway by the flagpole/bus area to the promenade, then south on the promenade until they reach the same North Creek Events Center bridge; or cross the street at the crosswalk, go south to the Security/Public Safety Office, take the adjacent elevator up to the bridge and cross back over to the NCEC.
 From the CC1/CC2 Building
For access to the NCEC from inside the CCC building, visitors should take the elevator to the first floor, exit to the promenade and proceed south on the promenade to the bookstore and over the bridge to the NCEC.
Scheduling Events in the North Creek Events Center
In the winter/spring of 2007 the NCEC was extensively remodelled to include a professional-grade catering prep kitchen with refrigerator, freezer, dishwashers, heating cabinets, microwaves, stainless steel work tables, a series of sinks, and shelving. Other additions are black velour drapes on a sliding track and new mechanical blinds, arranged in two layers so that users can choose complete blackout for projection or filtered darkening to reduce glare but still allow guests to view the wetlands. A new, permanent storage area completes the remodel. The NCEC seats up to 150 in a banquet style arrangement, or 200-295 people seated in rows or standing, depending on the configuration and whether a stage is used.
