Please join UIRA on Oct. 4 at 1 p.m. for a progress update on the new UI project to renovate the former Moscow Police Station at 4th and Washington streets. Please let us know if you plan to join us because space is limited.
In 2021, the former police station was purchased by the University of Idaho, and plans are currently underway to renovate the building into a mixed-use facility: The new home of the Prichard Art Gallery, information center with retail, and event space. The renovation will happen in phases over time.
The priority of the initial phase is the building infrastructure, security, and code compliance; with future phases focused on aesthetics and improved design that will commence as funding is available from donations and sponsorships. The building exterior was recently painted to protect it from further weather damage and update the exterior to be more aligned with others in the downtown area.
Additionally, an outstanding fine arts student has received a grant and used the funds towards a mural on the building. The name of the mural is "Here We Have Idaho" and depicts the state tree, bird, fish, etc. The pre-design was completed with a generous donation of $100,000 from KNIT who has an office in downtown Moscow.
Completion of the first phase to get occupancy is unknown at this time, as we are currently actively working on the project. Come get a special sneak peek for UIRA from your tour host, Toni Broyles, Chief Business Ventures & Strategic Initiatives Officer
