Boston Prep Uses MassDev Bond
New School Design Reflects Vision
New Sanford High School and Technical Center
Sanford, ME – Lavallee Brensinger Architects is moving full speed ahead with the design of the new Sanford High School and Technical Center, set to open in fall 2018. The design of the new school is focused on four distinct career pathways: arts and communications, science and technology, business and management, and health and human services. Each pathway is designed as a flexible, state-ofthe-art, integrated center for education.
According to superintendent of schools, David Theoharides, students will maintain the same graduation standards, but teachers will have the opportunity to teach those standards in a way that can be more meaningful and relevant to their students. While Lavallee Brensinger, with offices in Manchester, N.H. and Charlestown, Mass., finalizes engineering for these integrated career pathways, the high school and technical center continue to prepare to implement their studentfocused educational vision, tying standard subject matter to student interest areas. The project is the first of its kind in Maine in several ways including educational philosophy, sheer size, and number of towns it serves (18 communities). Once complete, the facility will be nearly 330,000sf of new construction. Construction documents are planned to be completed by the end of the year, with bidding scheduled to start in February 2016. The school is on target for a fall 2018 opening.
To Build Hyde Park School
Rendering of future Boston Prep middle and high school
Hyde Park, MA – MassDevelopment has issued a $17.5 million tax-exempt bond on behalf of Boston Prep, a public charter school in the city’s Hyde Park neighborhood. Boston Prep is using bond proceeds to build a three-story school that will house its middle and high school programs. The 49,000sf building will include classrooms, common areas, science labs, a library, small group instructional spaces, a gym, a cafeteria, outdoor athletic space, and seamless technology integration. Citizens Bank purchased the bond, and MassDevelopment estimates the project will create nearly 100 construction jobs. “Charter schools across the
commonwealth are in high demand and need improved and expanded facilities to educate the next generation,” said MassDevelopment president and CEO, Marty Jones. “We’re pleased to work with Boston Prep to help the school move to its new Hyde Park home.” Opened in 2004, Boston Prep serves 415 students in sixth through 12th grade. The school’s mission is to prepare students to succeed in four-year colleges and to embody, in thought and action, lifelong ethical growth by cultivating the virtues of compassion, courage, integrity, perseverance, and respect. Over the past five years, 100% of Boston Prep’s seniors have been accepted to four-year colleges.
