they could build a new law building on the site of the Provo High school campus. Also, maybe build a parking structure accross 9th east, and use the law building parking lot for additional classrooms.

That might allow them to add another 2,000 to 3,000 students.

It would be nice to see the school grow. Too many kids want to attend but can't.
