West Seattle Elementary School

A responsive design focused on community support and active learning environments.

A new 20,000-square-foot, two-story addition provides 12 new classrooms and two learning commons to better support students’ academic success. A redesigned secure entrance leads visitors through the administration office. The relocation and expansion of the library allows for more natural light and visibility. Minor modernization to the existing 50,700-square-foot school building include new paint, carpet, and technology. 


Site improvements include a better pedestrian access and new play areas/fields. Technology enhancements provide equitable access to technology for high-need schools to support teaching and learning in meeting the needs of students. Equipment upgrades to the audio-visual systems include classroom displays (projectors/screens), sound systems, document cameras, and devices to connect them. The school expansion proides permanent space for up to 500 students. 


A School Design Advisory Team (SDAT) advised the project. This collaborative process resulted in an equitable, safe, and inspiring learning environment.
