SCIOTA The West Prairie CUSD 103 Board of Ed. approved Graham & Hyde Architects, Inc. to seek out construction bids to turn West Prairie Middle School into a 7-12 attendance center during Thursday’s school board meeting.
David Leggans and Jamie Crossgriff of Graham & Hyde gave a presentation on the architect firm’s plan on converting the middle school into a 7-12 attendance center. Phase one of the architect plan showed the addition of two high school math classrooms, office space and a new kitchen/cafeteria. The plan also showed classroom renovations and plans of adding a gym. Leggans said health and life safety work will be a part of the construction process.
