Tillicum Middle School in Bellevue, WA, underwent a transformative redevelopment, resulting in a state-of-the-art, energy-efficient facility that seamlessly integrates educational spaces with the natural environment. The ambitious 173,000 square-foot project involved demolishing the existing school and constructing a new, multi-story building focused on sustainability and biophilic design.

A standout feature of Tillicum Middle School’s exterior is the use of AEP Span’s architectural Prestige Series® metal siding panels. These panels are key to the building’s sleek, modern look, while also providing exceptional durability and energy efficiency. The high-performance metal panels ensure the building is well-protected against the elements, requiring minimal maintenance and contributing to the school’s sustainable design goals.

This redevelopment not only increased the school’s capacity but also significantly improved the learning environment. By integrating sustainable design principles and utilizing high-quality metal panels for the exterior, the project achieves an excellent balance of functionality, durability, and aesthetic appeal, setting a new benchmark for educational facilities in the Bellevue School District.
