Additions to Lone Peak High School and Ophir Middle School shared two priorities: prepare innovative learning spaces for the exploration of high-tech education, and provide proper athletic solutions for a school growing from Class C to Class B.

The first objective was to help the district secure a bond amid the COVID-19 pandemic. With collaboration and pre-bond planning, the community joined forces with the design team and school board in support of the expansion.

The design equipped the district with outstanding educational amenities and created a resource for the entire community for the next 50 years. New facilities and site improvements included a track and field expansion, site circulation plan, STEAM facility addition, classroom backfill, and a new common area. Aggressive building performance standards were incorporated, with an overall architectural emphasis on unifying the school campuses and showcasing the world-class education taking place inside.
