Building a sustainable future with innovative construction

The Lakeridge Middle School was a new, multi-phased school construction project that included:

• Demolition of the existing school and installing temporary classrooms, restrooms and a gymnasium

• Construction of a new 138,000-SF middle school to accommodate 1,100 students, complete with new sitework, bus drop-off, parking and offsite improvements

• A design and build to accommodate future green energy solar panel array

• Passive ventilation system and integrated smart technology to signal teachers/students when to open and close windows to maximize natural heating/cooling elements

• A courtyard designed to emulate the underwater vortexes created during the Great Missoula Flood, forming most of the Willamette Valley

• 29 local trees harvested local and repurposed by Whole Trees as structural columns throughout the school
