About this Project

This school modernization and major reconfiguration included a new 4,000 SF administration wing addition constructed with exposed CLT bearing on wide flange steel beams and columns, providing a marquee entrance to the school. A 2,500 SF gym addition and a 5,000 SF classroom addition was added to the school. The existing 1979 single-story precast wall with steel open web bar joists was seismically upgraded to current building code requirements.
