Wallingford Center:
Wallingford Center was a pioneering effort of the City of Seattle and the
Seattle School District to adaptively re-use the original
Interlake Public School - a Seattle Historic Landmark listed on
the National Register of Historic Places. The three-story,
wood-framed structure in the heart of the Wallingford commercial
district is a private development converting the 53,000 square
foot former elementary school into a mixed-use complex.
The project had
many special technical constraints resulting from the alteration
of the existing building to accommodate all the new uses, and
the strict code requirements for exiting, fire, and structural
safety. Proposed design changes were carefully considered to
insure that any elements which were deleted or added maintained
and promoted the historic integrity of the building.
