Seattle, Washington
The addition and rehabilitation of this historic school brought new attention and profound educational changes to this 350-student elementary school as well as renewing the building as a community landmark. An addition to the historic building recalls the massing, colors and details of the original. Garden paths circulate to the entrance from points around the sloped site, reinforcing connections to the neighborhood. Classrooms are clustered around flex spaces that provide areas for small group/project-based learning activities and encourage interaction between a diverse and multi-lingual student population. Large operable wall openings between classrooms allow for team teaching and larger class spaces that can be set up in non-traditional ways. Hallways are designed to enhance safety and to accommodate small group activities outside the classroom spaces.
