NARRATIVE
The New Classroom Building at Creekside Community High School (CCHS) is an addition to the campus in Tigard, Oregon. On the site were two existing buildings -- one a 1920s schoolhouse and the other a 1960s classroom building. The need for a new building followed from the school district’s decision to combine three alternative education programs at the site while also add facilities to support an improved Science and Technology curriculum. The New Classroom Building houses an administration suite and a variety of classrooms that include a computer lab, science classroom and state-of-the-art makerspace.
With exposed ductwork and piping, and plywood paneling used throughout, the building exhibits a non-traditional aesthetic that showcases the humble beauty of function and simple materials. A large kitchen and vegetable garden are provided to support culinary education and community agriculture programs.
The southward-sloping roof maximizes the capacity for photovoltaic panels. The PV system is anticipated to produce all the electricity needed -- estimated to be ~130,000 kWh annually. In 2020, the New Classroom Building was certified Net-Zero Energy by the International Living Futures Institute (ILFI).
