Design Process for Wyoming Primary Schools Project Begins

The first Design Workshop for the new Wyoming Primary Schools project will take place at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, March 6, in the Hilltop School Gym. This Workshop Series has been developed to engage the Wyoming Community in the design of our new K-4 primary schools! The goal is to design each school so that it reflects the identity, values, and needs of the immediately surrounding neighborhood, while aligning with district priorities and exhibiting the unity of the Wyoming Community as a whole.

A total of nine workshops are planned at this time with three sessions held at each school. While all meetings are open to the public, each workshop will focus on the specific school where it is held. Design schedules are staggered to allow for the same 4-month engagement process to occur for each project.
