Security Upgrades Timeline
Robert Frost Elementary
The remodel of Robert Frost Elementary added approximately 700 square feet to the front of the school. The interior was updated so patrons enter the front office to be checked in before gaining access to the building. A new principals office and conference room were created, and the fire alarm system was updated.
Gearld Wright Elementary
The interior of Gearld Wright Elementary was remodeled so patrons enter the front office to be checked in before gaining access to the building. The final piece of the remodel (ADA actuators) is on backorder.
Whittier Elementary
Very similar to Gearld Wright Elementary, the interior of Whittier Elementary was remodeled so patrons enter the front office to be checked in before gaining access to the building. The final piece of the remodel (ADA actuators) is on backorder.
Eastwood Elementary
Eastwood Elementary’s remodel reconfigured the entry system so patrons enter the front office to be checked in prior to gaining access to the building. The exterior parking lot space was reconfigured so that school buses no longer need to back up after dropping off students. Handrails for the outside of the building are on backorder.

West Lake Jr High Replacement
After sustaining significant damage in the 2020 earthquake, and settling with the district’s insurance provider, the Granite Board of Education has opted to rebuild West Lake Junior High School on its original site.
The new West Lake building will take advantage of architectural plans from an existing Utah middle school building. That school (Hidden Valley Middle School) was completed in 2020, and uses a next-generation layout that supports current and future learning activities. Enhanced security is a priority, and learning communities are simplified to increase the usable collaborative and breakout spaces while reducing the overall building area and building cost.
