Project Details
Puyallup School District’s Northwood Elementary School is a replacement school that can serve up to 730 students. Construction occurred on an occupied site, so the team focused on minimizing impact to students and teachers during the process. Growing from a single-story 35,000 SF facility, to a two-story, 80,500 SF school, the design team paid special attention to maintaining the deep sense of community, as well as creating a warm and welcoming environment in the new school.
The new design takes advantage of a beautiful view of Mt. Rainier. With a large protected wetland nearby, the new school has high sustainability goals and incorporates access to the outdoors for the environmental education program. Northwood Elementary was completed in time for the 2019 school year.
