Art Rutkin Elementary

Tigard, Oregon

The Art Rutkin Elementary School, situated adjacent to a woodland and perched on the ravine’s edge, features a design that seamlessly integrates natural systems and the surrounding topography. The landscape enhances the experience for students and visitors as they approach the school. Tiered seating and steps leading to the main entrance offer informal gathering spaces—ideal for students waiting for parents or relaxing at the bus drop-off. The project also includes a synthetic turf soccer field, providing a dynamic space for recess play, alongside a dedicated nature play area that encourages exploration and imaginative activities for children during recess.
