Harrison Lyseth Elementary School

The new design transforms the traditional school with thoughtful organizational updates. Grade level classrooms are clustered around common displays and gathering areas. Social development spaces that include a “nest”, “cave”, and “campfire” provide a variety of informal meeting and learning opportunities. Newly created landscaped courtyards blur the lines between inside and outside.

The full scope of work includes additions and major renovations to create equity among the city’s seven elementary schools. Harriman’s Engineering and Architectural team completed an accelerated six-month feasibility study and design schedule in time for spring bidding and summer construction start. The project is an occupied, 30-month, phased construction.
