The Hillsborough City School District (HCSD) have been in the process of developing a Districtwide Facilities Master Plan including all school sites and the district office. Last spring, Quattrocchi Kwok Architects (QKA) held over 28 meetings with staff, parents and the community as a springboard for site designs. Over the last month, the team from QKA have been meeting with staff and parents to review the latest drawings. We are in the process of finalizing the drawings and then moving forward with prioritization of projects. 

The attached file shows the plans created by QKA based on the feedback and input they received last spring and this fall.
