The new French American School of Puget Sound (FASPS) campus in Seattle is envisioned as a Francophone & International Cultural Hub. Situated in the North Beacon Hill neighborhood, FASPS will be a highly sustainable campus, offering 15 classrooms and a gymnasium for students from grades 4 through 8.
The 4 storey school features a glulam post and beam frame, with composite metal floor and roof deck, and is braced by buckling-restrained brace frames. The gym placed at the main floor has allowed for a custom welded steel transfer beam to support the classrooms above, creating a feature space for the school.
FASPS will provide exceptional educational opportunities for its students, and will be a vibrant and integral part of the cultural fabric of the neighborhood.
