“In my thirty-plus years of working in the Engineering and Construction fields I have worked with several architectural design firms on both new construction and renovation projects. Design West has proven to be cognizant of the District’s Facility Master Plan and the means with which to provide facilities as directed therein for the staff and students of Elko County School District. Again, I highly recommend Design West Architects for your architectural and planning needs.”
