We are excited to announce that the University Place School District Board of Directors approved the selection of Bassetti Architects for the design of the Curtis High School remodel and renovation project. Bassetti brings a wealth of experience working on large, complex high school projects on an occupied campus. They emerged as the District’s number one choice in a pool of excellent options. The selection process for the design of Chambers and Sunset Primary Schools is now underway and we hope to choose an architect for these projects in June.
