The Renton School District voters approved the 2019 Construction Bond, which raised nearly $250
million. A portion of the projects included in the bond were for Lindbergh High School (LHS),
which is located at 16426 - 128th Avenue SE in Renton. The Subject Site is over 37 acres in size
and contains three tax parcels (KCA#282305-9004, -9042, and -9093). The school building was
originally constructed in 1970. While the school is located within a single-family neighborhood
(zoned R-6), there is church property along the southwest boundary, and an elementary school
further to the southwest. A large Resource Conservation zone abuts the Subject Site to the
southeast, which is owned by King County Parks.
Work on the Lindbergh High School Renovation 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 impact to students and staff, construction will be
phased:
• Site demolition and utility work at the entrance and at the Science Classroom Addition will
begin in the summer of 2022. Interior demolition at the Student Commons, and demolition of
Lincoln House will also begin at this time. The start date of this work will be pending an early
building permit issuance from the City of Renton.
• In the fall of 2022, after building permit issuance, construction of the entrance addition and
Administration renovation will begin. This work is scheduled to be complete by early 2023.
• In the fall of 2022, after building permit issuance, construction of the Science Classroom
Addition will begin. When this work is complete, the existing science rooms will be renovated.
Construction on the Science wing is scheduled to last through fall of 2023.
• Interior demolition and renovation of the Career and Counselling Center will begin in early
winter of 2023. This work will finish in the summer of 2023.
• Interior demolition and renovation of the Locker Rooms will begin in mid-winter of 2023.
This work will finish in the summer of 2023.
• Mechanical upgrade work will be completed incrementally throughout the duration of the
project with the various phases of work.
The MACC for the full scope of LHS work is $26.5 million. The addition and modernization
improvements include the following:

• 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. All new science classrooms will be equipped with water and gas , and will support
teaching of all hard sciences.
• The existing science wing of the school will be renovated to modernize science classrooms
and support spaces. All renovated classrooms will be equipped with water and gas, and will
support teaching of all hard sciences. Limited demolition to the existing exterior masonry
walls will be necessary to cut in windows on the existing west walls. A 700 square foot
mechanical addition will be built on the east side of the existing science classroom wing. The
mechanical addition will serve the renovated classrooms.
• Both science wings will have a rooftop clerestory to bring in daylighting to classrooms. The
clerestory will also contain mechanical ductwork and equipment to serve classrooms.
• The existing Locker Rooms at the Gymnasium will be modernized. All interior partition walls
will be demolished. No work to the existing structure or exterior envelope will be required for
this work. 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;
notably 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. Fixtures will be replaced and minor interior adjustments will be made to the
partition and fixture locations so that the restrooms will meet accessibility requirements.
• The HVAC systems throughout the existing building and Gymnasium will be upgraded.
Site work includes the relocation of underground utilities at the main entrance of the building.
Clearing, grading and general site prep for the mechanical addition at the east side of the existing
science wing will be required. The repair and resurfacing of the existing 73,650 square foot
southwest parking lot will also be a part of the project.
