The goal of this building, which has just broken ground, is to provide multi-use "wet" changing rooms, restrooms with showers, ADA access, and indoor/outdoor classroom and multi-use areas. The building will have Port and Starboard lighting and an illuminated tower that can be seen on the bay and by the community.

Parkview Elementary is a 54,419 sq. ft. two-story elementary school in Bellingham, WA that includes an expanded gymnasium and a receiving area. The covered play area was relocated to the west of the existing school. The existing gym was demolished, rebuilt, and expanded to the north. The area south of the gym serves as the north entry from the new bus drop off and staff parking. From the north entry, the 1st floor ramps down through the north classroom wing, and the central “knuckle”. Moving west are classrooms, the main entry, and administration. The second-floor organization is similar to the first floor, with the stacking of classrooms at the north and southwest, the central “knuckle”, and the library above the admin area at the southwest with a view to Cornwall Park.

The original Glenning School in Lynden, WA was built in 1881 and demolished when a new replacement school was built. The 150,000 sq. ft schoolyard is in the middle of Lynden, surrounded by single family homes and endeared by the community as an open playfield. This land was surplused by the School District and put up for sale to anyone. The City, and numerous community donors, were able to assemble the funds to acquire the land to preserve it from development and create a public park in 2019. The Glenning Park Master Plan Design charrette process achieved a unanimous support for the final design layout integrating all comments.
