Project Story

The Challenge

Hillsboro School District needed seismic, mechanical, roofing, safety and security upgrades at three middle schools, Evergreen, Poynter and Brown, touching every square foot of each while the schools stayed in use. Evergreen also needed room for 200 more students

Our Response

We worked with the district across all three schools at once, phasing the work over several summers. At Evergreen we engineered a significant addition and renovation that expanded the Media Center and the Commons.

The Outcome

Evergreen's improvements strengthened the existing school while providing space for 200 additional students. The expanded Media Center and Commons bring natural daylight into the learning environment, while a new exterior plaza and courtyard offer welcoming spaces for students to gather and connect outdoors. Together with improvements at Poynter and Brown, the projects delivered safer, more resilient and efficient learning environments across the district.
