Fairview Middle School and Athletic Fields

School Replacement

AHBL provided civil engineering, land use planning, and land surveying services for the renovation and replacement of Fairview Middle School. The scope includes construction of a new 70,600 SF building with 19 classrooms, kitchen, administration offices, and community spaces, as well as 36,500 SF of renovations to the existing gym, band, and choir facilities. Civil engineering work encompassed site demolition and grading, drainage design, and traffic improvements through new paving, parking, and signage. Stormwater management incorporates on-site infiltration, bioretention, and mechanical treatment, with separate flow control systems for two drainage basins. Additional infrastructure includes a 4,000 LF water main extension and rerouted sanitary sewer lines.

Land use planning services included applications and approval process for the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) and State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) review, including coordination of environmental studies and public hearing presentations. Land surveying services include construction staking and layout for horizontal and vertical controls, curbs, gutters, concrete hardscape, and retaining walls.

Athletic Fields

As part of the school replacement project, AHBL provided civil engineering services for new athletic facilities, including a synthetic turf football field, track surfacing, a synthetic softball field, ADA-accessible pathways, and support structures such as dugouts and a storage building. To streamline permitting, this work is incorporated as a revision to the existing school replacement permit. Additional site improvements include curbing and fencing to complete the athletic complex.

AHBL’s engineering scope addressed drainage, grading, and ADA compliance. Plans included site clearing and demolition, site grading, and storm drainage design in accordance with the 2021 Kitsap County Stormwater Design Manual. The stormwater system features a conveyance network to capture runoff from fields and hardscaped areas, directing it to a new flow control system and downstream infrastructure. A below-grade chamber system stores diverted stormwater before infiltration into native soils, while runoff from turf fields is treated to prevent pollutants from entering downstream systems.
