Students in Maple Valley might actually be eager to hit the books on Sept. 6, the first day of classes at the new Tahoma High School and Regional Learning Center at 23499 S.E. Tahoma Way.

Tahoma School District says the 312,300-square-foot replacement school can hold 2,400 students, making it the state's largest high school. The school includes the Career and Technical Education wing and a 600-seat performing arts center. It also has classrooms and breakout spaces for student collaboration, an athletic complex, a wrestling/aerobics room, weight room and sports medicine training spaces.

Skanska, the project's general contractor/construction manager, is negotiating a $120 million contract with the district. Skanska’s project manager is Margot vanSwearingen.

DLR Group is the architect and OAC Services is the project manager. Other team members are McKinstry Co. (mechanical construction/construction manager) and Veca Electric (electrical construction/construction manager).

The project team had over 250 workers on-site at one point and those workers put in more than 580,000 hours.
