Washington Elementary School

The improvements at Washington Elementary create modernized and expanded learning environments to better meet the community’s needs. This project involved upsizing all of the school’s core spaces (gym, library, cafeteria), which Soderstrom accomplished through careful coordination and design. A new two-story classroom addition provides more modern and flexible classrooms, with support spaces, pull-out work areas, and a teachers’ work room. The renovation of the existing school building creates a new gymnasium and kitchen, a renovated cafeteria/multi-purpose room and library, three new classrooms, a new teachers’ lounge, a new computer lab, restroom accessibility upgrades, and a seismic retrofit. The result is a brighter, safer environment in which Woodburn’s children can learn and grow.
