BIM modeling was utilized to pre-plan and track the work. The project faced numerous jurisdictional challenges including extended permitting, critical slopes and an Inadvertent Discovery Plan as an assumed archeological site. Although a Design-Bid-Build delivery method, Spee West partnered with Seattle Public Schools and BLRB to get the project permitted and on track as quickly as possible. The structure consisted of a mixture of CIP concrete walls, CMU block and structural steel. Many of those elements were left exposed as architectural features. One effective strategy to pick up time on the project was to start the structure at both ends and work towards the center which had to remain open as the only access to the back side of the building.
