Facility
The school opened in 2007 in a new 113,000 square foot facility organized around four internal learning neighborhoods. Architects for the project were Bassetti Architects of Seattle.
In 2011 a 47 kW photovoltaic solar panel system was installed on the roof of the school. The panels were installed by a private sector company which rents the rooftop space from, and sells the electricity generated to, the school district at the same rate as is currently being charged by the utility company. After 10 years, ownership of the panels and the electricity generated is to be transferred to the school district.
