90-23 Educational Service District No. 105

Conference / Computer Center

Yakima, WA

Educational Service District No. 105 staff provides technical assistance, in-service training, computer training, and consultant services for teachers within a four county area. This multi-purpose facility anticipates flexibility in existing, as well as future uses, in response to a rural area characterized by a diversity of student population, size and needs. The client desired a building that would project a clean, pleasant, no-frills image; relate compatibly with its mixed-use institutional and industrial neighbors; and provide natural day lighting while maintaining a secure and virtually windowless facade. Day lighting is accomplished by clerestory windows set above and behind the lower walls of the street facade.
