Lease Crutcher Lewis was the construction grand award winner for the renovation of Garfield High School in Seattle. The renovation of the main building included a restoration of its 1920s brick and terra cotta facade. A new building, shown in the foreground, holds a gymnasium and a 595-seat performing-arts theater. The two-year project was completed in time for school in September.
