Facility committee narrows architect interviews; enrollment and building-utilization studies due in June
Summary
The board’s facility committee reported it interviewed architectural firms and will follow up with three finalists; an enrollment and building-utilization study from RSP Associates is expected in June to inform facility planning.
Members of the board’s facility committee told the McPherson USD Board of Education that they have completed initial interviews with four architectural firms and plan follow-up interviews with three finalists before recommending a selection to the full board.
The committee asked architects to provide an updated facilities assessment, support for long-range facility planning and community engagement, and a clear process for translating assessments into project scopes. Committee members said they used a rubric matrix (long-range facility use matrix) to evaluate firms and performed reference checks.
The superintendent said the district expects to receive enrollment and building-utilization reports from RSP Associates in June; the district intends to combine that data with the selected architect’s assessment so the two efforts inform each other.
The committee will meet again to finalize follow-up interview dates. No architect was selected at the meeting; the committee emphasized due diligence and community research as part of the selection process.
