Renovation of an educational facility in Framingham, Massachusetts. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a educational facility.

This project is included in the City of Framingham 2024-2028 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). As of October 24, 2023, further details regarding design and construction have not been identified. A firm timeline for construction has not been established; however, funding is being allotted to fiscal year 2025. A detailed scope has not yet been released. This request for capital budget funding is for the design of exterior envelope repairs to the King Elementary and Framingham High Schools. These two facilities fall within our long range exterior envelope repair program and have experienced a number of deficiencies and damage throughout the years. This funding request of $322,000 would allow the Department to work with our House Doctor Design to investigate the major areas of concerns, moisture infiltration, extent of damage to the infrastructure, and begin developing a plan for repairs. Once this effort is completed, the Department will have a phased approach and bidding documents to begin the repair process. This project will address many issues at King and FHS, including failing window perimeter sealant systems; deteriorating expansion joints; deteriorating fascia; deteriorated mortar; foundation cracks and failure; spalling concrete; and associated components. King was constructed in 1957 and has undergone numerous improvements throughout the years. However, there have been minimal repairs to the building's exterior envelope, which has resulted in the deteriorating conditions of today. Framingham High School was constructed in 1961 and underwent expansion and renovations from 2001 through 2007. While this building has undergone numerous renovations and repairs, the exterior envelope has not been the focus of repairs or renovations for a number of years. This is shown in the current condition and continued moisture infiltration throughout the building. Estimated Design Costs - King Elementary School - $135,000 Framingham High School - $187,000 Total Requested - $322,000 *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
