Dive summary:

• The Lake Washington School District in the Seattle suburbs combined modular units trucked to the site of a new high school with a site-built commons area to get a high school up and open on a seven-month schedule.
• Local regulators limited what the district could do to the site, and modular units built off-site and trucked in for a crane-lift into place were the answer for classrooms and other standard-sized spaces.
• A commons area with a 22-foot ceiling was built on site, and the entire project for a school dedicated to Science, Technology, Engineering and Math came off on time.
