Plymouth-Canton (Mich.) district hires architect to design middle school

A month after eschewing a recommendation by administrators to hire TMP Architecture to design a new middle school, the Plymouth-Canton (Mich.) school board has approved hiring the firm for the project. This time, The Observer & Eccentric reports, the approval came after a month-long bidding process that saw bids come in from four firms. The firm intends to use a prototype design that will result in a 140,000-square-foot $22 million facility. It will replace Central Middle School.
