Bartholomew Consolidated School Corporation (BCSC) has announced the selection of Howeler+Yoon to design the new westside elementary school in the US state of Indiana.
Howeler+Yoon is a domestic architectural company.
A 16-member committee, including BCSC administrators, teachers, a student, and community members, conducted the selection process.
The BCSC Board of Trustees approved the decision.
After reviewing proposals from four companies nominated by the Cummins Architecture Program, Howeler+Yoon is said to have been chosen for its child-centric design approach.
The new school, part of BCSC’s Envision 2030 facilities plan, marks the district’s 12th primary school and the first to be built since 1982.
