We’re excited to lead a tour of @thenorthwestschool for attendees of the 2018 A4LE PNW Regional Conference on May 4. The 401 East Pike building is a catalyst project for the independent school, enriching its urban campus and consolidating programs that were previously distributed across the neighborhood. The variegated façade echoes the signature yellow clapboards of the adjacent historic Summit School building. An overlaid fenestration pattern, inspired by wavelengths, celebrates the school’s art and science focused curriculum. Sustainability is integrated throughout, from native plantings to the interactive energy and water performance dashboard, and rooftop solar hot water array. 📷: Benjamin Benschneider

We’re closing off National Library Week with another favorite: the @SeattleU Lemieux Library and McGoldrick Learning Commons. Built in 1964, Lemieux Library was an uninviting repository for books that lacked modern technology and functionality. The design reinvents this campus landmark by pairing a sensitive renewal of the historic structure with the addition of a light-filled learning commons, restoring the library’s central role on campus. Tour the LEED Gold certified facility as part of the A4LE PNW Conference on May 4: https://bit.ly/2GVayi5. Project completed in association with Pfeiffer Partners. 📷: Andrew Buchanan
