School Tour & Dinner Meeting
January 23, 2020
Lincoln High School
Seattle Public Schools
4400 Interlake Ave N.
Seattle, WA 98103
This tour will take attendees through the completed Lincoln High School in Seattle’s Wallingford neighborhood. Built in 1907, with a multitude of additions and alterations since, this school has not operated as comprehensive high school in almost 40 years. In 1981, the school was closed due to low enrollment and remained unused until 1997, when it became a swing site for district schools under construction.
Tour attendees will see how the design team successfully renovated this historic landmark building into a 21st century learning environment, with 20th century roots. While walking through the building, attendees will be handed historic and before photos of spaces to show innovative restoration techniques and successful upgrades to the building.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand how a building over 100 years old can be transformed into a 21st century learning environment that supports multiple teaching modalities not just traditional learning.
- Learn about creative solutions for existing spaces that don’t support the needs of current learning needs
- Understand opportunities and challenges working with the Seattle Landmarks Board, old school alumni, new district educational specifications, planning principal and staff, community partners, and a dense urban neighborhood.
- Learn about sustainable approaches to construction with historic buildings that focus on the decreasing the carbon footprint of a new school.

School Tour & Dinner Meeting
February 26, 2020
Giddens School and Lake Washington Girls Middle School
2100 South Walker St
Seattle, Washington, 98144
The Giddens School and Lake Washington Girls Middle School (LWGMS) complex is an urban educational
campus located between Beacon Hill and the Central District neighborhoods of Seattle designed to host
two private, independent schools. In addition to creating enhanced educational facilities, co-location
enables the schools to leverage their mutual desire for facilities that better connect to the community.
FACILITY TOUR INFORMATION
Key design goals for the tightly integrated and program-driven project included flexible and innovative
spaces, student-centered design, and a building that is open and connected to the community and the
natural world. Program spaces within the 52,500-square-foot complex include general and specialty
classrooms, communal gathering spaces, and administrative and faculty support areas. Multipurpose
spaces, such as the gym/performance hall and dining commons, support a wide variety of functions and
act as central hubs for the two schools.
Each school has its own entry. The Giddens School, accommodating around 240 elementary and
preschool students, is entered on the west side of the site and accessed from 21st Avenue South. The
LWGMS, accommodating around 110 middle school students, is entered on the southeast side, accessed
from South Walker Street. The two communities join at the center, in a series of shared program spaces.
On the main level, the performing arts space, gym, library and commons share a direct relationship to
the exterior play space and an exterior covered walkway that connects the two schools.
The design focused on creating a healthy learning environment for kids using nontoxic, durable
materials and ample daylighting. Sustainable strategies are used as teaching opportunities with a rain
gauge on the cistern that holds water to flush toilets, and the solar panels that serve as the Giddens’
entry canopy. The upper roof of the building further supports solar panels, while bioretention gardens,
situated around the site, provide onsite rainwater filtration.
Learning Objectives:
- Building systems and construction that contribute to student health and learning outcomes
- Strategies that allow separate institutions with similar values to leverage a shared campus
- Strategies for school design in an urban setting
- Building systems that conserve energy and water
