Facilities
A new facility, to be called Raisbeck Aviation High School, after a major donor, commenced construction in August, 2011 and is expected to be completed in the summer of 2013. The new building will be located immediately to the north of the Museum of Flight's airplane static outdoor exhibit on the west side of King County International Airport, formerly known as Boeing Field. Designed as a teaching tool and to support a rigorous education in "STEM" subjects (science, technology, engineering and math), the building will offer direct views to the adjacent aircraft exhibit which includes a Concorde and pioneering Boeing jet aircraft. The location of the school was selected provide ready access to the Museum of Flight's resources and to the approximately 200 flight-related businesses nearby.
The new facility was designed by Bassetti Architects. The design received the 2011 People’s Choice Award and Polished Apple Merit Award from the regional chapter of Council of Educational Facilities Planners International.
