Architects have been chosen to build and update seven public schools in Hamilton County, including Harrison Elementary, East Hamilton Middle, Chattanooga School for the Liberal Arts, Howard High, Snow Hill Elementary and Tyner Middle and High schools.
Hamilton County commissioners will vote next week whether to approve the architects, as well as to approve around $200,000 million in bonds to pay for those projects, a jail expansion and more.
County Mayor Jim Coppinger said Franklin Architects has been chosen to build a new Harrison Elementary and TWH Architects will construct the new East Hamilton Middle.
Derthick, Henley and Wilkerson will build the new CSLA and an addition at Tyner Middle and High schools, and Neuhoff Taylor Architects will build the Snow Hill addition. Barge Design Solutions will construct a new stadium and track for Howard High School.
“We’re obviously excited about getting these projects started,” Coppinger told commissioners at their Wednesday agenda session.
