K-3 CLT Classrooms
Location: Wapato and Toppenish, WA
Graham was the contractor for this progressive design-build CLT pilot project for Washington State. This project consisted of a four-classroom addition to Adams Elementary School in Wapato and a four-classroom addition at Valley View Elementary School in Toppenish. The classrooms were designed and permitted in just three months. Lessons learned include:
- Standardized CLT panel sizes, openings, and layout to keep manufacturing costs down
- Standardized classroom amenities to gain subcontractor and supplier efficiencies
- Utilized local subcontractors and labor force to the greatest extent possible to minimize overhead costs
- Scheduled construction activities so work could flow sequentially between both sites
