Their joint interest with WICHE in the building is codified under the auspices of the State Higher Education Policy Center (SHEPC), incorporated under the laws of the state of Colorado and was funded by a low-interest loan from the Ford Foundation, the founders of SHEPC purchased the building.

Featuring a learning center and meeting facilities, SHEPC promotes informal cross-fertilization of thinking, as well as a quick dissemination of information and new ideas to the organizations and policymakers they serve. SHEPC also encourages synergy in activities, both in the selection of projects and in the concepts utilized within projects, and improved capacity for effective collaboration among the staff and members of the three organizations. Working together, the organizations are providing rewarding educational experiences and opportunities for interns and graduate students.
