Boze Elementary School Replacement

Location: Tacoma

General contractor: Korsmo Construction

Boze Elementary is the first K-12 progressive design-build public school project in Washington. The new 56,360-square-foot, 550-student school is focused on science, technology, engineering, arts and math (STEAM) based learning and includes early childhood education, a dedicated gymnasium, cafeteria, stage, music room, community room with outside access, a women infant and children program clinic, and a community garden. Program and project management led by Parametrix facilitated the progressive design-build delivery method. Korsmo worked with Parametrix and BCRA Design to successfully complete the project on time, on budget and with a full program to the result of happy end users, operators and owners. Programming, design, permitting and groundbreaking were completed 11 months from PO to receipt of the building permit — faster than any of the district’s previous 12 major capital bond projects. Owner cost certainty was achieved at 60% design development guaranteed maximum price — only eight months from PO to GMP.
