Beatrice Morrow Cannady Elementary School Tour
Attention to natural daylighting throughout the building. The major spaces such as the Cafeteria, Library, and Gymnasium and even the stair halls have extensive glazing and building forms to take advantage of daylighting and the surrounding views. This guided the design on the interior as well as the exterior and helped define the character of the building.
The Library as the centralized hub of the classroom wing, takes advantage of the 2-story volume to create a variety of connections to all of the classrooms, workrooms and extended learning areas so that it could serve as a focal point, and resonate a variety of school activities.
The elementary school’s appearance was developed by articulating building forms with carefully selected materials that balance first cost with durability and maintenance issues. It was desired that the new school appear appropriately-scaled, engaging, and telling of a lasting neighborhood institution in the city of Happy Valley.
Use of Cross-laminated Timber and Glue-Laminated Wood construction really contributed to the success of the gymnasium, Cafeteria and Library design where the combination of architectural and structural elements came together to lend warmth and character to the spaces.

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.
