Your Center, Market & Neighborhood.

The University Heights Center is a non-profit 501c-3 community organization founded in 1989 by University District residents, who believed that this building would serve as the wonderful and vital gathering place for the community.

We are constantly providing and promoting community programs, services and activities aimed at building a sense of neighborhood and meeting the needs of our diverse community. UHCCA maintains the belief that “Old Schools Still Teach”, and fosters community and educational opportunities in a historical setting.

Residing in one of the oldest elementary school buildings in Washington State, currently under restoration, UHCCA is a vital community center which serves as the heart or "town hall" of Seattle's University District neighborhood.

Our grand and historic facility not only supports an array of tenants who offer many diverse programs, classes and activities, but also serves as a venue of many other community activities and organizations.

By design, the types and kinds of programs and classes offered here are constantly changing due to the varied and diverse type of clients served. Please contact or stop by the UHCCA office for current listings or call us at (206) 527-4278 or email us at info@uhcca.org.

Above all, the University Heights Center remains focused on our local community, children, arts and education, and continuing education within the University District and the Greater Seattle area.
