"Vertical School" At Urbanized Redmond Town Center?

Urban Developer.com

City Council is just beginning to study an applicant's request to redevelop suburban Redmond Town Center into a "walkable" urban center that could include 12-story buildings.  A detailed Vision Statement hasn't been delivered, but it's fun taking a stab.  Over and again, I see the possibility of a "Vertical School" public-private partnership. The school might take 3-4 stories of the 12-story building?  Light rail would be a God-send. Teachers and staff could commute by rail from more affordable homes to school.

A good article on Australian vertical schools (click link)

"High land prices and a scarcity of suitable sites make vertical schools an economic alternative to our longstanding cultural preference for low-rise schools.

A vertical school is designed to accommodate the full range of teaching, administration and recreational activities within one or two buildings, often with outdoor recreation spaces constructed on upper levels. New vertical schools, ranging in height from four to seventeen stories, are now starting to be commissioned across all Australian mainland states."
