If you like history, and are remotely interested in buildings and construction, we have a fun new window into building design from 1905 (literally). Last week saw the demo of restrooms on the first floor, offering up a fun look at the skeleton of our building, and its hidden craftsmanship.
There continue to be restrooms available on the ground floor.
NEXT UP: contractors will be working 7-3pm in the main hallways to install ceiling duct work for the new heat pump system. Hallways will remain useable during this period.
As we begin a new school year, you will find reduced parking.
We love creativity but not in the parking - please only park in marked spaces, Mass. Ave., or consider a drop-off for older youth.
Updates about the whole project will continue to be posted on our website, social media, and in these monthly newsletters.
