Truman Education Complex
Federal Way, WA

The Truman Education Complex was recently built to house two schools, grades 9 - 12, each consisting of 100 students. Each school serves six advisories with one teacher (advisor) responsible for seventeen students for four years. Learning spaces include individual workstations, project labs, seminar centers, conference rooms and large spaces. While the public school system did not build any fields, gyms or art venues on site, creative use of community resources and the development of partnerships will enable Truman to offer a variety of artistic, athletic and academic opportunities for its students.
