Lincoln High School underwent a renovation and modernization that preserved its historic features.

Seattle Public Schools will hold events to open two new schools and open additions at two existing schools.

Events at Magnolia Elementary School and Ingraham High School are today at 10:30 a.m. at 2418 28th Ave. W. and at 2 p.m. at 1819 N. 135th St., respectively.

Events at Queen Anne Elementary School and Lincoln High Schools will be held Sept. 3 at 10:30 a.m. at 2100 Fourth Ave. N. and at 2 p.m. at 4400 Interlake Ave. N., respectively.

Magnolia Elementary will open as a new elementary school for neighborhood students, Seattle Public Schools said in a press release. The landmarked building was constructed around a century ago. It underwent extensive modernization, including two additions. One addition holds classrooms and a new library; the other holds the new gym.

The work was funded primarily by the Buildings, Technology and Academics IV Capital Levy. The state provided additional funding through a Distressed Schools Grant and the School Construction Assistance Program.

Mahlum Architects designed the project and Forma Construction Co. built it.

A newly constructed two-story addition at Ingraham High is on the north side of the school. It houses classrooms, a new entry, administration offices and student common spaces. It was funded by a BTA IV Capital Levy.

Integrus Architecture designed the project and Cornerstone General Contractors built it.

Queen Anne Elementary received an addition that includes classroom spaces, a gym and new administrative offices. The school's main entrance was moved to the addition off Fourth Avenue North. The project was funded by a Building Excellence IV Capital Levy.

Mahlum Architects was the designer and Hensel Phelps the builder.

Lincoln High will open as a new comprehensive high school to meet the growing enrollment in the north end of Seattle. The landmarked brick building first opened in 1907. Renovation and modernization preserved historic features while preparing the building for 21st-century students. Funding comes from BEX IV and BTA IV capital levies.

Bassetti Architects was the designer and Lydig Construction the builder.

Seattle Public Schools said capital levies are approved by Seattle voters and are the key funding source for improving safety and security for students, reducing portables, adding classrooms, improving technology infrastructure for schools and increasing access to classroom technology.
