St. Joseph School Addition

Seattle, Washington

Upgrading a Seattle middle school.

The St. Joseph School underwent an extensive upgrade, with modifications to the existing middle and elementary schools to allow for an 8,500 SF addition. Our work included classroom modifications, new administrative offices, a two-story entry vestibule, a reception area, and a new clock tower. We also performed upgrades for a new elevator system and existing mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems.

The Challenge

Since the building dated back to the early 1950s, air quality precautions and asbestos abatement were a primary concern.

The Solution

We performed the work in 2 phases, working only in the summer when teachers and children were not on the property. This required coordinating the project on a tight timeline so that in between phases, the conditions were completely safe.
