This 57,000 SF replacement school serves over 500 Pre-K to 8th-grade students. As the first two-story school in the Pacific Northwest to use cold-formed steel framing, the Progressive Design-Build project team successfully met budget goals while optimizing use of the tight site and creating a successful drop-off solution for students. Chosen for its cost savings benefits, the CFS structural system required a high level of team collaboration to navigate the complexity of the system and avoid costly RFIs. PCS created a framing model that served as a blueprint for the entire building team and utilized repetition, alignment, regular plan shapes and short spans to achieve a constructible and cost-effective design.
