Linus Pauling Middle School

Following our pre-bond planning Corvallis School District contracted us to design the Corvallis Replacement Middle School (later named Linus Pauling Middle School). The first of our school projects to become LEED-certified, Linus Pauling Middle School is conveniently located next to the Osborne Aquatic Center and houses 600 students with the capability of expanding to 750-student capacity. Every classroom has access to natural light. The classrooms are designed to be clustered into houses for student gatherings. The school has two gymnasiums, a 125-seat community room with theater-style seating, a commons area that is used for food service, meetings, and performances, a centrally located media center, an elevator, and many other amenities for students and staff. A safety lock down system was designed for the school that utilizes key cards. The school was ready for the start of the 2004 school year. The project is Silver-LEED certified.
