Demolition, site work, renovation and addition to a mixed-use development in Newburyport, Massachusetts. Conceptual plans call for the addition of a two-story above grade educational facility; and for the renovation of a educational facility.

The current science labs were designed in the late 1990s and no longer align with modern STEM teaching methodologies. Additionally, space restrictions limit the class offerings that can be made available to students. In many ways the science/STEM classrooms at t he lower grade levels are more advanced than what is currently available at the high school. This project would construct a two-story addition over the gymnasium, and renovate the existing science classrooms and lab spaces. A Statement of Interest will be submitted to the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) requesting participation in their Core Program which would result in an approximate 50% reimbursement from the state f or this project. Preliminary costs are calculated as follows: 16,000 sq. ft. of new space @ $500/sq. ft. ($8,000,000), 10,000 sq. ft. of renovated space at $500/ sq. ft. ($5,000,000) = $13,000,000. An allowance of $1,000,000 for Building A roof replacement and other miscellaneous costs is included in the estimate below, for a total cost of $14,000,000. This project is included in the city's 2022-2026 Capital Improvement Program. As of March 23, 2022, further details regarding design and construction has not been identified. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
