New Valley is a ground up new construction project situated on a sloping site adjacent to a well-loved community dog park in SeaTac, WA. The project architect, Hutteball + Oremus, oriented the building to provide beautiful views of Mount Rainer on clear days. Their creative design was accomplished while still incorporating conventional materials for school projects in the region; standard concrete foundation, structural steel frame with select heavy timber elements, cold formed metal stud framing exterior walls and interior partitions. With 36 classrooms and Pre-K education facilities this expansion is a welcome addition to the growing neighborhood. The campus previously served as a Nike Missile battery charged with protecting the Boeing production plant in Kent during the cold war.
