Recent efforts include a new mass timber academic and physical education building for the Center for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Youth, which is based on findings from the Building Better Schools Mithun R+D study; The Evergreen School Campus Expansion; and planning and building projects with Bainbridge Island, Highline, Lake Washington, Northshore and Renton public school districts.
