John Muir Elementary School Early Learning Addition and Improvements
About the Project
Overview
This is a project to build a 4-classroom Early Learning addition with before- and after-school childcare support spaces.
It also includes renovating the 3rd floor of the 1971 addition from open concept to 3 classrooms, upgrades to the existing fire suppression system, and loading dock upgrades. Site work includes adding modular play equipment, bicycle parking, a bicycle garden, and work on the right-of-way curb ramp.
The existing school will remain on site during the school year while construction is going on.
Funding Source: Buildings, Technology, and Academics/Athletics V Capital Levy (BTA V), approved by voters in 2022 and a Distressed Schools Grant from the State of Washington.

School Design Advisory Team (SDAT)
Early in the design process, representatives from the school community come together to form a school’s SDAT. SDATs typically include school and district staff, parents, and community members. Students are sometimes included for all or part of the process. The project construction managers also take part. Learn more about the John Muir SDAT.
