About the Project

The North Queen Anne School building underwent upgrades to better meet the needs of Cascade Parent Partnership.

Work included seismic upgrades for earthquake safety, expansion of the fire sprinklers and fire alarm system to cover the whole building, heating and ventilation system replacement, and electrical system upgrades. Interior floors, ceilings, and casework were replaced.

Existing program spaces were reconfigured and upgraded. Exterior doors were added to the arts classroom and science classroom to provide access to outdoor areas for classroom projects. The school administration area is now next to the main entrance, with a new window to provide visibility to the entrance and parking lot. The commons/lunchroom space has moveable glass walls that can open to the corridor — providing both natural light and the ability to enlarge the space for school gatherings.

A new playground was installed.
