History and campus edit

The Evans School is located in Parrington Hall at the University of Washington in Seattle. Parrington Hall opened in 1902 as the University's science building and is named after Vernon L. Parrington, an English professor at the University from 1908 to 1929. It underwent a $24M renovation in 2019–20 to modernize the historic facility, achieving LEED Gold standards. The facility reopened in September 2020 with new classrooms outfitted with the technology and spaces needed to support engaged learning and community discussions.
