LMN plans new Lakeside building

By JOURNAL STAFF

SEATTLE — LMN Architects did the last new building for the Lakeside School campus in far north Seattle, and it's to do the next one, too.

The architect recently filed a new plan for a two-story, 45,000-square-foot classroom, science lab and office building, using the upper school address at 14050 First Ave. N.E. (The middle school is a few steps south.)

The project, listed with a nominal value of $40 million, hasn't yet entered design review. It's to go on the southwest corner of the campus, at Northeast 140th Street. The site is now home to four portable offices; before that it's been variously a grassy field, construction office and staging area, and for earlier decades a softball field.

LMN's last project for the private school was the Paul G. Allen Athletics Center, completed circa 2014 by LCG Pence Construction and Lease Crutcher Lewis. Seneca Group then acted as Lakeside's owner's rep, as it has for subsequent renovations on the campus. Original buildings date to 1930, with Bebb & Gould as the architect and planner.

The Tatler, the student-run newspaper, reported two years ago that the softball field site had been eyed for a new building back in 2016. The plan, which could add 200 upper school students to the current 587, was postponed — in part because of the pandemic.
