Tour of Recent Schools by Educational Specs Committee
Yesterday the Educational Specifications Committee (consisting of staff, teachers and parents from Machias & Riverview Elementary Schools) toured four elementary school projects in the area, along with representatives of NAC Architecture and Heery Int'l.:
These tours allowed committee members to see additional schools, further increasing the variety of projects they have to consider and discuss in planning the new projects. The committee has previously toured Phantom Lake Elementary School in Bellevue, Forest View Elementary School in Everett and Little Cedars Elementary School in Snohomish.
Visiting the schools, including the discussions that occurred on the yellow school bus between school tours, was a productive way to advance the dialogue between the committee and the project team about the goals and possibilities outlined in the draft Ed Spec.

Welcome!
Welcome to the project blog for the Machias Elementary School Replacement and Riverview Elementary School Replacement project in the Snohomish School District. This page is intended to be a forum for the project team to communicate with the public, and vice versa. In an effort to maintain a transparent and open process, we will post information as it becomes available. Please note that this is a work in progress, so posted information is subject to change.
Firstly, we would like to extend thanks to Snohomish voters, whose support of the bond measure has made these projects possible. Information about the bond is available here.
We are currently in the Pre-Design Phase of the project development process. The planning work of the Citizens Advisory Committee (report available here) has established recommended total project budgets of $39M for each school. The report lists the committee members and outlines the bond planning process, including substantial public input.
The Snohomish School District has interviewed consultants for the project and has selected NAC Architecture as the Architect and Heery International as Project Manager for these two projects. Both schools will be planned together and will have the same program elements and facilities, but they will not look the same and will be specific to their site and surroundings.
Thank you for your interest in Machias and Riverview Elementary Schools. As planners of public schools, we look forward to gathering and using the public input that will help make each of these schools a special place in its community.
