Beaverton High School is the oldest school in the district, dating back to 1916. Over the years, more than a dozen separate additions have been made to the school, resulting in an assortment of electrical, mechanical and plumbing systems and related inefficiencies. Parts of the building do not have firewalls, and much of the building does not meet current seismic standards. It's the only high school in the district with a seismic rating below "Collapse Prevention," meaning in the event of an earthquake, Beaverton High School would be at risk of partial or full collapse. The new structure will serve as a community evacuation center in case of an earthquake.
The complete rebuild of Beaverton High School will be the largest project in the 2022 Bond at a cost of $253 million. Because there is no viable swing school, students will attend school on site during construction. The new building will be located on the grass field along SW Farmington Road. Once the new school is completed, the old one will be torn down and replaced with a parking lot.
Construction is scheduled to begin in summer 2024. The rebuilt school is slated to open in the fall 2026 and would accommodate about 1,500 students.
Periodically, we'll be posting below to get your feedback on design decisions. Please follow this project, so you're alerted to those opportunities.
