<div>WALLA WALLA, Wash. - Whitman College recently announced their acquisition of the Big House Brew Pub, a beloved fixture in downtown Walla Walla.The land was purchased through Whitman College's $850 million endowment, which includes more than 70 properties across Walla Walla.Jeff Hamrick, vice president of finance and administration at Whitman College, says the $1.5 million investment was more than a good deal; it met their goals."Whitman has, over the past couple of decades, been increasingly orienting itself around, career outcomes and community engagement," Hamrick said. "And so for us that means a lot of our community facing work, intersects naturally with downtown Walla Walla. It makes sense to bring our boundary all the way to kind of the edge of downtown."The new property lies less than a block away from Whitman College's newest dorm addition. Hamrick says they plan to keep it a pub while they decide what to do with the space down the line. "I'm seeing kind of an opportunity for an integrated space for upperclassmen at the college," Hamrick said, "but it's still going to be a place where community members can go get a pint after work or get a bite to eat."The Bon Appétit Management Company, already a partner with the college, will manage the pub's liquor license and operations. Renovations are set to begin next month with the aim of reopening the rebranded and renamed pub by next spring.</div>
