Architects chosen for 2 Provo schools

PROVO — The Provo School District Board of Education has selected architects for two new elementary schools.

Naylor Wentworth Lund Architects will design the rebuilding of Timpanogos Elementary, 449 N. 500 West. The company will receive 5.5 percent of the building construction costs.

Sandstrom Architects will oversee a new elementary school for the Lakeview neighborhood using an existing design. It will receive 3.25 percent of building construction costs.

Both schools are estimated to cost about $11 million.

The architects were selected after the district requested bids.

Five architectural firms responded, and a selection committee of school board members, district staff and administrators and a retired architect narrowed the applicants to three for the board's final decisions.
