Hunt Construction Updates
The Tacoma School Board selected the team of Absher Construction and BCRA Design to design and build the new Hunt Middle School.
Absher led the now-completed Wilson High School modernization, and BCRA is designing the new Boze Elementary School.
The original Hunt Middle School building was constructed in 1958. Thanks to local school construction bond voters, a new 600-student capacity building featuring maker space, a stage, rooms for band, choir, and orchestra as well as a new track and fields and outdoor areas opened in September 2021.

To ensure safety, the Hunt site is now closed to the public, including all fields and access points.

Projected budget: $48 million
Architect: BCRA
Design: July 2018 - February 2020
