Project Description

Sun, water, and the rugged beauty of the Yakima Valley inspired the architectural design for the new 330,000 sf, two-story Eisenhower High School, located on a sloping site in Yakima, Washington. A striking blue wall ties together the various buildings, expressing the profound importance of water to the vitality of the Yakima Valley. The main entrance area contains a library, an administration office, and common areas leading classroom wings. One wing holds music, kitchen, and fitness facilities; the other wing is home to science facilities and industrial shops. An inviting courtyard fills the space between the two southern wings, which are linked by two bridges.
