RENTON SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 403
Lindbergh High School Modernization and Additions
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL: The proposed action is the construction of modernization improvements
and additions at Lindbergh High School. Work at the high school consists of the construction of two additions
and an interior remodel to various spaces of the existing school. The high school will be occupied for the
duration of the project. In order to reduce impacts to students and staff, construction will be phased. The scope
of work includes:
· A 1,630 square foot addition at the main entrance of the building. The addition will be the new location for
the Administration and Health Suite. Existing Lobby and Commons will be renovated to accommodate the
new Administration location.
· A 3,000 square foot addition at the northeast area of the school (known as the Lincoln House) will house
four new science classrooms and support spaces. The addition will require demolition of the roof, the north
wall and a portion of the east wall of the existing Lincoln House.
· The existing science wing of the school will be renovated to modernize science classrooms and support
spaces. A 700 square foot mechanical addition will be built on the east side of the existing science classroom
wing.
· Both science wings will have a rooftop clerestory to bring in daylighting to classrooms. The clerestory will
contain mechanical ductwork and equipment to serve classrooms.
· The existing Locker Rooms at the Gymnasium will be modernized. New Girls and Boys Locker Rooms
will be equally sized and provide shower and changing facilities. A classroom, training room and storage
rooms will also be provided.
· Interior renovations to support the relocation of various program areas will also be required at the existing
Administration Office, which will be demolished and reconfigured for the Counseling Office and Career
Center. The existing restrooms at the science wing will also be modernized.
· The HVAC systems throughout the existing building and Gymnasium will be upgraded.
Other key elements of the environment include required frontage improvements along 128th Avenue SE and the
dedication of additional right-of-way. This work will involve the majority of earthwork for the project. An
estimated earthwork quantity for the total project is: Cut = 2,100 cubic yards and Fill = 600 cubic yards (Total
On-site Cut = 2,000 CY and Fill = 500 CY; Total Off-site Cut = 100 CY and Fill = 100 CY).
The proposal will require approval of a Site Plan Review, Frontage Improvements Standard Modification and
building/other public works permits from City of Renton.
