INVOLVEMENT
2015-2018

Chehalis School District built two new elementary schools to replace the existing Olympic Elementary School, grouping students from pre-K through 2nd grade and 3rd through 5th. SCJ Alliance provided civil engineering design and landscape architecture services for the new schools, Orin Smith and Lintott Elementary, which have a total footprint of 99,800 square feet on a 42-acre site.

Site improvements included two elementary schools, a dedicated bus loop, parent parking and drop-off areas, and frontage improvements. Site design also included water main design, sanitary sewer extension, and a stormwater detention system that alleviates downstream impacts for residents to the north.
