Wyoming City Schools considering Middle School improvements

Last night Ruetschle and District leadership engaged the Wyoming Community about the future of Wyoming Middle School.  A master plan was presented to remove the current gymnasium, add a (2 story) 46,000 sf addition, and renovate 88,000 sf of the existing 3 story school.  The Board will conduct a statistical survey in the next week and make a decision on how to proceed with the $25M project soon.  If approved by the Board, the 4.35 mil bond issue would go before voters in the 2012 primary election.

Halloween Treat

One of the most rewarding parts of our job is to experience how users interact with space that we build or renovate.  We think of it like turning over a blank canvas to an artist, and seeing what beauty they make of it.  Had one of those experiences this morning walking past the Harman Elementary School art room windows.
