Project Strategy

The Auburn School District needed to replace the aging Lea Hill Elementary School and BLRB Architecture designed the new Lea Hill Elementary school which expands student capacity in one of the fastest growing school districts in the Puget Sound Region. Lea Hill Elementary school serves to alleviate overcapacity in the Auburn School District elementary schools. Mannington carpet was used throughout the school in the corridors, classrooms, library, and offices. The colors used in the carpet pattern were earth tones to help tie into the natural environment surrounding the school site and the warm colors have a calming effect on the students and staff. The use of carpet throughout will reduce noise to a minimum inside the school and the maintenance cost of the carpet should be lower because Mannington has greater stain resistance proprieties due to the nature of the fiber system and construction of its backing.
