Spokane Junior College was a two-year college that operated from 1935 to 1942 on the South Hill of Spokane, Washington.[1] Originally known as Spokane Valley Junior College, it was a reorganization of Spokane University, which was located in the Spokane Valley.[2]
Spokane Junior College leased the buildings formerly used by Spokane College from the Norwegian Lutheran Church of America.[3] Facing decreased enrollment and increased operations costs during World War II, the college shut down in 1942 and merged with Whitworth College (now Whitworth University).[4] [5] The building was torn down in 1969 to make way for the Manito Shopping Center, which presently occupies the site.[6]
