Designed to enhance the sense of community at a school divided into small learning academies, the Mount Tahoma High School footbridge connects the two main instructional buildings to join students and academics. Created as a physical representation of a school philosophy, the footbridge serves as a symbol of the link between students’ roles as individuals to their global connections. This element, combined with the landscaped outdoor courtyard, encourages student socializing and a unified campus.
