SSOE is currently working on prototype architectural plans for K-12 buildings throughout South Carolina to include elementary, middle, high school, and Career Technology Education (C.T.E.) buildings. Plans will be utilized by the participating school districts with the designer being hired by the school district to do the site-adapt of the plans.

According to the SCDE’s proposal for the American Rescue Plan (ARP) funds, students and schools in South Carolina face critical issues including the need for upgraded facilities. SSOE will work this client to develop the most effective and efficient learning environments benefiting the state education system overall.
