Okaloosa County Schools sought to alleviate overcrowding in its northern elementary schools by constructing a Pineview K-8 school. The school’s location on a pine-covered hillside inspired its name and design, reflecting the area’s historical ties to the pine logging and turpentine industries, while also celebrating the natural beauty of the land. 

This state-of-the-art facility will accommodate 1,200 students and feature two-story classroom wings, collaborative study spaces, a media center, and outdoor courtyards. The design also incorporates modern amenities such as specialized band and chorus rooms, advanced classroom technology, a gymnasium with PE and athletic locker rooms, and a cafeteria designed as an Enhanced Hurricane Protection Area. 

With a focus on flexibility and community engagement, the spacious entry lobby serves as a dynamic hub, complete with a built-in learning stair and media projection wall. Together with the media center and administration area, the lobby offers a range of meeting spaces to cater to both the school’s and the community’s diverse needs.
