PROJECT DESCRIPTION
​
The new Juanita High School will serve up to 1,800 students in grades 9 - 12 for the Lake Washington School District, and is being designed with the potential to expand to an enrollment of 2,000 in the future. The new building will be a three story structure and will preserve the existing football field, track, bleachers, field house, and pool. Parking and drop-off areas will be re-designed.
Construction will occur while students are on-site, requiring a phased construction process. Site development will include the school buildings, play fields, and vehicular and pedestrian circulation and parking.
