On this project, we worked with the talented team at Slichter | Ugrin Architecture and ESI Construction to create a beautiful and functional replacement school for the Boise School District.

About the Pierce Park Elementary Replacement School

The previous Pierce Park Elementary School was constructed in 1938, was overcrowded and had outlived its practical life span. With multiple portable classrooms and a small combined gymnasium, Pierce Park ranked as the fourth-worst elementary school for Educational Adequacy in the 2016 Facilities Audit and the third-worst elementary school for utilization.

A new school was deemed critical for the neighborhood, addresses overcrowding and safety, and meets modern education standards while honoring its rich history.

Project Design

Boise-based Slichter | Ugrin was selected as the architect for the new school. They brought on Stack Rock Group as their landscape architecture consultant.
