Architects and partners talk community priorities in design for Huntsville School
IRON SPRINGS – Because schools are often the hub of many rural communities, the design planning for the new Huntsville School in Iron Springs is providing an opportunity for even greater involvement on the community’s part.
Community partners were invited to provide input around their priorities for a new school during a visioning meeting hosted by Palliser Regional Schools and Ferrari Westwood Babits Architects. They also heard possibilities for greater community utilization of the building, which could be complete by the fall of 2020.
The goal of the exercise was to come up with a design that will meet the needs of Palliser students, and the community as a whole for years to come.
Students, school and Central Office staff, and representatives of the County of Lethbridge and Alberta Infrastructure all took part in the exercise. Local business leaders had also been invited.
