Helen A. Hansen Elementary School construction project included the demolition of the entire circle classroom addition and the construction of 12 classrooms, a gym, cafeteria, and administrative offices. The 45,000 square foot, $10.2 million project included four clear stories that allowed natural sunlight into the interior classroom core spaces. Each of the clear stories brought focus to the exposed structural steel, thus uniting the aesthetics of the architectural design with the structural design.
