Significance of Project and Project Description: Construction of a new elementary school, currently unnamed, is under way on 8 acres at the northeast corner of Southeast Kinnaman Road and Southeast Reed Drive in Hillsboro. The new two-story, 73,500-square-foot facility will have the capacity for 600 students.

Construction is taking place in two phases. The first phase (sitework) began in summer 2021 and was completed in December. It included excavation, grading, underground utilities, rock compaction and other earthwork. Work also involved adding curbs, ramps, sidewalks and retaining walls, and adding streetlights, sidewalks and driveways. The parent dropoff/parking lot and staff parking lot also were built, and well as the foundation and fencing for the lighted, synthetic turf field.

Phase 2 鈥� construction of the building 鈥� began in March. The district said this is the third school to be built using the prototype design already completed at Brookwood and Atfalati Ridge elementary schools. Features include a rooftop solar array, STEAM lab, think tank and several group learning areas adjacent to the classrooms. The layout provides for natural daylighting. The new gymnasium and turf field will also be used as resources for community youth recreation. The school will be built to 鈥渋mmediate occupancy鈥� standards, and also can serve as a shelter after a major seismic event.

The original plan was for the school to open in the fall, but enrollment projections indicated that Rosedale Elementary School could continue to serve as the home school for the student population in the area through the 2022-2023 school year. Naming of the new school is currently in process under task force oversight, after community surveys were conducted. The task force also will oversee the school’s mascot naming and development of school colors and logo. A boundary adjustment process will begin this fall and conclude by next spring.
