Hutchison Smith Architects has been working on the design phase throughout the summer months. According to the Boise School District, many suggestions made by neighbors and stakeholders were considered during the design process, including:
In March, the Boise School District decided to rebuild rather than renovate the school, after detailed analysis and survey results from more than 600 members of the community.
