Yorkville District 115 officials are developing questions to ask architectural firms applying for the high school expansion project.
Yorkville District 115 officials hope results from a questionnaire which will be given to prospective architectural firms will help them determine the best one for the Yorkville High School expansion and remodeling project. During during Monday's Organizational Oversight Committee meeting at the high school, members reviewed the questionnaire. District 115 Superintendent Scott Wakeley said school officials would like to use a local firm. “We don’t want someone from Colorado saying, ‘We want to be your architect,’ and then when we need somebody a year from now they’re nowhere to be found,” Wakeley said.
