Designs for the future Newcastle middle school show an open plaza entrance with benches for seating, and lots of windows in the two-story building.
Construction on the new Renton School District middle school is on time and on budget.
The two-story school designed by NAC Architecture will occupy the 11-acre site of the Renton Academy, next to Hazelwood Elementary School. It is set to open September 2016.
The district says a committee is being formed now to determine the name of the new school. View district photos of the construction progress here.
The project was made possible thanks to voter support of an April 2012 bond measure. The $97 million bond measure will fund the school, improvements to the Lindbergh High School pool and other construction costs.
