A conceptual rendering of the exterior of Central High School. (Grace Hebert Curtis Architects rendering)
As it prepares to make major renovations and additions to its lone high school, an East Baton Rouge, La., school district is testing out a building process it has not used before.
Rather than submitting traditional bids, six companies in December offered statements of qualifications laying out why they should manage the work at Central High School, in the town of Central, La.
And rather than working off a finished design, the company selected will participate in the latter half of the design process with architects Grace Hebert Curtis of Baton Rouge before it starts construction.
