Design Narrative >>Design Perspective >>Design Goals

»» The goal of the Mount Si High School project is to replace the current school with a new state-of-the-art facility that will accommodate a larger student population and provide an inspiring learning environment that supports and encourages learning, community, and foster a collaborative teaching culture. The building will respond to the natural surroundings with vistas to Mount Si, Rattlesnake Ridge and the Snoqualmie River as well as the forces of flooding waters, academic rigor and increases in student population.

>>Existing vs. New »» The existing school is a sprawling 176,000 square foot building with the majority of single story wood frame construction that sits within the flood way of the Snoqualmie River and serves about 1700 students. The new school is designed as a 3-story structure over a parking garage with a total area of 355,000 square feet serving up to 2,300 students. The elevated platform that forms the base for 85% of the school structure will serve to keep the school spaces above the flood level as well as provide over half of the required parking stalls required by the City of Snoqualmie. »» The new structure has been placed over the current baseball and softball fields in order to allow the majority of the new school to be constructed in a single phase which results in less disruption to the current school (the existing site will be occupied during the construction) and provides a simple and straightforward phasing of the project. The massing of the new school was developed to help breakdown the large volume of the school and to provide strategic and usable outdoor spaces for view enhancement, outdoor learning opportunities and access to daylighting for classroom and other school spaces. The interiors of the school are designed to support the smaller learning communities and to foster more informal interaction with students-to-students and 6

>>Exterior Finishes students-to-teachers. The spaces are to strive for celebrating the student and provide a positive, safe and inviting facility and support 21st century learning environment to occur.

>>Building Design >>Overall Design

»» The new Mount Si High School will be 355,000 square feet in three distinct buildings; main campus, freshman academy, and performing arts building. The main campus is atop a 210,000 elevated post-tension concrete slab above a 400 stall parking stall. The school is divided into four small learning communities each being 3-stories with student breakout and support spaces. The commons is divided into two separate spaces which interlock with three of the small learning communities. The Freshman small learning community is a distinct separate structure also atop the PT platform with its own commons, entrance and dropoff. The performance arts center is the third structure located at the west side of the site and constructed on grade. The music and drama classes are housed with the auditorium and stage in the PAC building. The site will have new all-weather turf baseball and softball fields as well as approximately 300 parking stalls and bus loading area for 38 bus included 5 to 7 special ed buses.

>>Structure »» The soils present on the site have a high silts composition with high risk of liquefaction in a seismic event. Soil reinforcement is achieved with stone column mats of 3’ diameter stone columns 50 to 60 feet deep. The footings will set on top of the reinforced soils with standard spread footings. The open air garage level is composed of concrete columns and post-tension concrete slab. The buildings atop are of structural steel with brace frame and composite metal deck/ concrete slabs.

»» The primary finishes will be metal siding and cement board siding along with specialty running metal trims. The windows are a combination of aluminum storefront and curtain systems will have a custom painted, factory applied finish. The use of sun shades and other screening devices will be employed to control daylight which is highly desired in classrooms. Spaces such as the gymnasium, library and commons will have significant glazing areas with views and daylighting of primary purpose for these spaces.classrooms. Spaces such as the gymnasium, library and commons will have significant glazing areas with views and daylighting of primary purpose for these spaces.

>>Importance of the Elevated Platform »» The presence of the floodway required a response in the design to provide a flood protected campus for the students & staff, improve security for the school users and, provide cover for a majority of the car parking. The platform provides a base for the school to arise and provide outdoor spaces between wings as well as provides the ability to close the campus. An additional benefit of the platform is the improved vistas to the natural features of the valley; Mount Si, Rattlesnake Ridge and, the Snoqualmie River. The platform will have a combination of hard and planted areas that are arranged to provide informal and dedicated learning opportunities as well as support for other school programs such as the biking & activity area for the self-contained special education students.

>>Interior Finishes »» Interior finishes will be selected with input from the District’s maintenance staff to be aesthetic as walls as durable and maintainable materials. Special feature materials for corridor wainscot, feature wood finishes for entry and lobby spaces and feature ceilings will be employed to reinforce the distinct or unique character of key these key spaces. The gymnasiums will have maple wood flooring and the theater will have carpeting and epoxy painted floor finish. Utility spaces and CTE shops shall have sealed concrete. 7

>>Building site requires a compact design.

»» The site will be redeveloped to have the majority of the new school will be constructed in the NE portion of the site and wrapping around the east and south sides of the existing stadium. The southern portion of the site will be expanded to accommodate new baseball and soft ball fields, surface visitor and staff parking and, bus drop loading. The majority of the parking will be located below the new school structure in an open air garage. Off-site improvements at Schusman Avenue SE are anticipated along the west property line. Minimal off-site improvements will be needed along SE park Street or Meadowbrook Way SE.

»» Care has been taken to minimize disruption of the existing school population during the construction of the new school. The phasing allows over 80% of the new facility to be constructed without relocation or shuffling of student or staff and will allow power, water and sewer services to have minimal disruption of interruption.
