Wondering what the proposed Westview campus will look like? Here's an early concept image.
The Westview building (current UM Bitterroot building) will be renovated and expanded to be the 4th/5th grade building. A new 6th-8th grade building will be constructed. The two buildings will be connected by shared service spaces in order to reduce the overall square footage and overall price of the project. This connection may include a central kitchen with separate cafeterias, 2 gyms divided by a solid wall and a central admin area. The 4th/5th grade and 6th-8th grade groups would not interact within these shared spaces during the school day.
