The Northwest School Selects Mithun for New Multi-Purpose Building
02.23.2011 Mithun, Project Updates
The design process for The Northwest School’s multi-purpose building begins this month. Currently a parking lot, the recently acquired property at 401 E. Pike Street in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood will expand the school’s facilities to enhance its programs and offerings to the student body and the surrounding community. Preliminary plans for the project include a multi-purpose gymnasium and dining facilities.
“Urban schools are a cornerstone of the future of livable cities, so we’re excited as a firm and as a design team about this project,” notes Rich Franko, AIA, Mithun’s principal in charge. “Working with The Northwest School presents an ideal opportunity to further develop the educational environment in the urban fabric. The high visibility and pedestrian activity at this site will provide great opportunities for a rich layering of concepts—urban design, sustainability, experiential education, community—as we move through the design process together.”
Mithun will design the facility and Dana Warren of The Warren Company will manage the project. Read more at the Capitol Hill Seattle Blog and Seattle Daily Journal of Commerce.*
