2006 - Seattle, Washington
The original Roosevelt High School building, a landmarked three-story Georgian-style building in Seattle, was built in 1921. Renovation of Roosevelt High School focused on rehabilitation of the historic structure, with a 120,000 SF addition that complements the massing, scale and materials of the original building

The new daylit student commons, which acts as a lobby for the new gymnasium and theater, is adjacent to a plaza overlooking the athletic field and territorial views of Seattle. The plaza serves as a protected exterior gathering space pulled back from the street. Roosevelt’s extraordinary performing arts program is supported with the provision of a new 750-seat theater, an intimate 150-seat black box performance space, and numerous teaching, rehearsal and support spaces. Academic areas are organized into eight small learning communities surrounding a daylit library at the core of the historic structure. Each learning community has dedicated classrooms, science labs, teacher planning areas and small group spaces.
