It provides safeguards in meeting building requirement of the State Department of Education and fire marshall. Plans must be prepared by a licensed architect and bidding specifications are outlined. The Board of Education asked the professional educators in the district to make recommendations to them as to the type of educational programs provided. Elementary principals were given an opportunity to attend a national convention and visit outstanding schools in Utah and surrouding states. Each elementary teacher visited exemplary schools in Utah an dobserved programs being conducted In their area of instruction. They recommended to the Board of Education that new facilities be built to allow all programs to operate around a media center equipped with all types of eduThe media cational material. center was to be a resource and stimulation center for all learning activities.

With this In mind, the Board of Education Interviewed 13 architectural firms on October 7 and 9, 1968. Thev selected the firm of Edwards and Daniels on January 13. 1969 and commissioned them to prepare svhematic drawings. The drawings were approved on May 12, 1969 and the working drawines were completed on Anril 1, 1970. The nlans were approved bv the State Department of Public Instruction on April 19.
