Strengthening maritime workforce education through collaboration of Port of Tacoma and Tacoma Public Schools

AHBL partnered with TCF Architecture, PLLC to provide structural engineering and land use planning for the Port of Tacoma and Tacoma Public Schools’ (TPS) Maritime|253 Skills Center progressive design-build project located on the Thea Foss waterway. Structural design services included gravity and lateral force resisting system design for the PBC and site-related utility structures, and drawing/detailing preparation of construction documents. AHBL land use planners compiled and reviewed plans and reports for consistency and accuracy, and facilitated submittal and approval of the land use and SEPA requirements. The facilities include a new Port of Tacoma business office building supporting 150 Port and Northwest Alliance employees. The Maritime 253 Skills Center will serve 300 Tacoma Public School high school students with CTE classrooms, lab spaces, and shoreline access along Foss Waterway.
