NEMA Management is seeking qualifications and proposals on behalf of the project owner, Warren County Schools (WCS), for
design team members to review the central campus master plan. We are also seeking qualifications for the design of a major

Education has expressed a desire to consolidate all students for Elementary, Middle and High Schools onto the existing campus
located off Hwy 158 Bypass. That campus currently has Warren County High School, Warren County Middle School and
Warren County New Tech School.
Warren County has been awarded a $30,000,000 grant for funding through the Department of Public Instruction’s Needs-Based
Public-School Capital Fund. Phase 1 of the Master plan is to convert the existing New Tech school into an elementary school.
Future phases will include the evaluation and renovations of the existing middle and high schools on campus.
