University Cooperative School is the first school to be approved as Retrofitted on the City of Seattle’s URM list.

The City of Seattle has recognized University Cooperative School for successfully achieving "Retrofitted Unreinforced Masonry (URM)" status. Over eight years, CAST, Swenson Say Faget structural engineers, and the project team completed the required work and documentation, ensuring the school meets the necessary standards, and updated its status on the City's list of structures previously requiring evaluation and potential retrofitting under the upcoming URM Ordinance.
