His designs reflect an understanding of educational trends by delivering adaptable schools ready to serve students well into the 21st century.

Say hello to Mike

  "It's amazing to see the students and staff use and operate the space, it is beyond anyone's expectations. As we walk the halls, the Lydig family can't help but burst with pride over the effort our team put together. This was accomplished by Bassetti's approach to collaboration and willingness to work with Lydig, the District and all stakeholders."
