Adams Elementary Rain Garden
Seattle, WA
Educational and interactive, this elementary school rain garden raises student and community awareness of a natural resource through daylighting rainwater. Roof downspouts channel water into a cistern, stormwater planter and a rain garden via an open water runnel at the school’s entry. From water collection to the rain garden, the process is visible and invites interaction and exploration of water as a material, resource, and amenity.
