GSD Future

Jacobsen Construction has been awarded the contract for both South Kearns Elementary and Roosevelt Elementary rebuild projects.

The two schools will be sister schools, meaning the overall structures, floor plans, and facades will be nearly identical. Each school will have two maker space labs and two special education suites in addition to standard classrooms.

Roll-up glass doors and flexible furniture will allow for student collaboration and an easily transformable learning environment.

Security is a major focus of both buildings, and several layers of protection will be used to help keep the schools as safe as possible.

 

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.
