Federal Way, Washington
The building housing this 1,300-student high school is organized as an assemblage of structures gathered around a central courtyard. The village organization intentionally reinforces more personalized smaller groupings while also recalling the historic rural settlement patterns of the area. Learning spaces were designed to be highly flexible and convertible to accommodate changing methodologies and technology. The project was designed using a proactive planning technique that anticipates a broad range of use scenarios, resulting in a school that can easily be converted between departmental-, academy-, grade- or project-based learning models.
