Juanita Elementary School
Kirkland, WA
Size:
450 Students.
Features:
Constructed on a sloping 8.1 acre site, the new Juanita Elementary School takes advantage of site topography with a split level design. The administration, library, preschool, kindergarten, gym, commons, and stage are located on the mid level. The balance of the classrooms are located on the upper and lower floors in four clusters around shared activity areas. The new school was constructed on the existing playfield while students occupied the original building, which was demolished to accommodate parking and new playfields. The library is the most dynamic architectural element of this structure.
