Designs for the new Harrison Elementary School include local mountain range murals in the library as shown below, as well as pinecone light fi xtures for students to read
by. The main corridor, shown above, will feature art work on each side of the wooden
beams. Superintendant Krista Parent noted the pile of decisions still needing to be
made in terms of design but recently told the school board that the project was moving
along and "down to the details."
The library at Harrison Elementary School is a key feature in the new design. Shown
above, a rendering of the interior. Below, a rendering of the entrance to the space.
