Marrion Elementary School

Marrion Elementary is one of six original “prototype” schools LSW has built for Evergreen Public Schools. The prototype program was created to offer a high-quality, flexible, and cost-effective working school model, saving on everything from the design to the ongoing maintenance of the building. The other prototype schools include Sifton, Emerald, Burton, Image, and Ellsworth Elementary; with each school having nearly the exact same foot-print. The two-story, 61,000 sf building(s) accommodate 550 students each. The design is highly focused on personalized learning spaces; everything from the doors to furniture and entryways between classrooms are created around the varying needs of students. This is tied closely to the idea of Voice and Choice: learners can choose how they learn best and are free to pull away when needed. The school(s) feature Integrated Classroom Instructional Technology: audio and video display managed by a touch panel control, along with sound masking for speech privacy and less disruption within the classrooms. The school also uses simple, intuitive, frustration free lighting controls to help empower occupants to save additional energy beyond code Minimums. As the team was nearing the end of the bond program, we were able to yield a healthy surplus of funds for the district, resulting in the addition of a “bonus” seventh school; replacing Mill Plain Elementary; LSW was recently awarded the contract in April 2021 and has already begun the design and permitting phase of this additional school.

Mentors Needed
Would you like to share your knowledge of architecture, engineering, and construction with middle school students and helps shape their understanding of what our built environment in the future could be like? The Oregon and Southwest Washington Chapter is looking for volunteers to be mentors for middle school students in the Metro area as they participate in the
SchoolsNEXT Design Competition, which challenges student teams to design their “school of the future”. Mentors will work directly with students and their teachers, and can volunteer for as much time as they are able. Planning, design, construction and operations knowledge in all fields and skills are welcome. The competition starts in Fall and concludes with the Chapter competition in March. This is a great opportunity to educate our sustainability leaders of the future! Contact
Robert Allen for more information.
