The Grand County School District's Margaret L. Hopkin Middle School is a testament to innovative education design and environmental harmony. Replacing an outdated facility on the same site, construction was meticulously planned in a single phase to minimize disruption to ongoing student activities and to optimize cost efficiency. This new learning haven embraces next-generation pedagogical principles with its flexible layout, fostering student engagement and collaboration.

Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Moab's natural splendor, the school's exterior mirrors the region's rugged beauty through the strategic use of natural materials such as sandstone, masonry, stucco, and corten metal. These elements pay homage to the surrounding mesas and fins and infuse the building with a sense of place and belonging. Inside, spacious classrooms with interior glass walls promote transparency and connectivity, while expansive hallways double as collaborative zones, enriching the educational experience for all students.
