In 2018, voters approved a $176M construction bond for new schools and facility upgrades, leading to the development of Fife Elementary School, which can accommodate approximately 800 students. AHBL provided landscape architecture, civil engineering, land use planning, and land survey services for the 115,000 SF building. The site design included a building, outdoor learning classroom, vegetable garden, playground, bus loop, parking areas, and athletic fields. A central courtyard inspired by the Puyallup River’s journey features classrooms around its edges and a water feature capturing rooftop rainwater. The project also involved replacing high school tennis courts with new turf fields and constructing various infrastructure elements, with AHBL preparing comprehensive plans and coordinating construction efforts.
