Education

Quantum Consulting Engineers provided structural design services for The Evergreen School in Shoreline, Washington. Founded in 1963, this private Pre-K-8 school aims to teach 450 highly capable students in a fun, innovative, and supportive environment. 

This project added over 27,000 square feet of new construction to the existing school, including outdoor learning and play spaces, a new administration suite, a multi-purpose room, community gathering areas, and the BIG Lab, the creative center of the campus. Quantum also provided structural upgrades to 15,000 square feet of existing building areas.

Quantum Consulting Engineers provided the structural engineering for a 92,500 SF addition to Olympic High School, in Bremerton, WA. The design included new classrooms, technical labs, a Performing Arts Center, a high-bay common area and an updated cafeteria and kitchen area. The Performing Arts Center is comprised of a (417) seat main theater with orchestra pit, a black box theater, music classrooms and practice rooms.
During the design process, we recognized that the classroom configurations stacked between floors, which leant itself well to light wood-framed construction for greater structural economy and sustainability. The Commons area was framed with deep glulam beams and columns in conjunction with a long-span custom steel truss that allowed for a clerestory window to allow natural light into the space. The Performance Arts Center was framed with CMU walls and a steel roof trusses.
The new construction was designed with sustainability and energy efficiency in mind and the new building uses 70% less energy than building code requirements. Because of this, Olympic High School qualified for the Puget Sound Energy Conservation Grant and received an AIA Civic Design Award.
