Design plans for Cyprus High School and Skyline High School will be finalized in the coming months, and we’re getting a clearer picture of the architectural aesthetics of the new buildings.

This photo gallery is a sample of architectural preferences regarding the overall ‘look’ of the new high schools. Please note these are only examples that demonstrate preferred aesthetics, not actual renderings of either building.

These preferences are the result of a focus group with parent advisory committees and community leaders. The images represent some of the designs that resonated most with participants. The architectural design team will take  this information into consideration as they work to finalize plans.

The Granite Board of Education recently approved Bud Mahas Construction as general contractor for the Hunter High School wing addition.

Construction will commence on the site in the spring, with the full project scheduled to be completed summer 2020.

The wing will include several classrooms, student collaboration spaces, maker spaces, conference rooms, learning labs, faculty areas, and storage space. The increased building capacity will alleviate the need for portable classrooms currently on the campus.

Here you can view the current status of all major capital projects in Granite School District, including completed work, current projects, and future construction dates.

The Granite Technical Institute is expanding. As part of a major remodel, classrooms and lab spaces are being added to the fifth floor of the building, which was previously occupied by Utah State University.

Security upgrades are being installed at a number of elementary schools in the district. These upgrades involve remodeling main entry areas into secure entry systems with additional doors that can only be unlocked by office staff.

Hunter High Wing Addition

Construction is expected to begin this year on Hunter High School’s wing addition. This new two-story wing will be located on the northwest side of the building. The project is still in the design phase, but here are some anticipated features:

• 12-14 Classrooms
• 2 Science Labs
• 4 Conference Spaces
• 1 Make Space
• 1 Teacher Collaboration Space

Additional Projects

Bond funds were not used for these projects, but the passing of the bond speeds up the pace of these upgrades district wide.

A contractor (GSBS Architects) was approved for architectural services for security upgrades at Fremont Elementary and Vista Elementary.

Please join us for a follow up meeting on the Skyline High rebuild on Tuesday, April 24 at 6 p.m. at Skyline High School.
