Project Overview
Malabon is a 55,586 SF replacement elementary school located in Eugene, Oregon, for up to 630 students. The building expands teaching opportunities through the use of classroom “pull-outs,” an exploration lab, and a professional learning lab. With features such as operable windows, nine-foot high daylight windows, mechanical night flush ventilation, and exterior walls insulated with rigid foam panels (SIPs), Malabon also performs 25% better than a typical code compliant building. The full school facility includes classrooms, a library, gymnasium, cafeteria, stage, and administrative offices.
Located in the heart of an existing neighborhood, Malabon honors the residential character of its neighbors by incorporating warm and approachable materials and forms. Soderstrom designed the new building using principles of CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) to discourage the vandalism problems that had plagued Malabon in the past and prevent people from entering the site unobserved.
