AHBL provided civil engineering and land surveying services for the new Chinook Elementary School in Auburn School District. Phase I included civil engineering services for a new 74,000 SF facility serving approximately 650 students from preschool through fifth grade. Site improvements feature a playground, playfield, neighborhood connection via Scenic Drive SE, and upgraded parking areas to improve traffic flow and accessibility. The project was delivered under the GC/CM method.

Phase II involved civil engineering and land survey support for a roundabout at the school’s main entrance on Auburn Way South, requiring coordination with the City of Auburn and WSDOT. AHBL prepared easement acquisition and dedications, designed and permitted the roundabout on a separate schedule, and provided half-street improvements along Auburn Way 164. Land surveying services included a 19-acre topographic and boundary survey across ten tax parcels, plus right-of-way surveys for adjacent roads and pedestrian pathways to accommodate future improvements.
