About The Squantum School Project
The Neighborhood Impact
The project team will strive to maintain a safe working environment for students throughout the project. The new design is considering ways to minimize the impact to the surrounding community during the phases of construction as well as post construction. A portion of the existing Squantum School will remain operational throughout the project and will be supplemented with temporary modular classrooms. The adjacent parkland will only be temporarily used during construction and will be restored when the project is complete.
The Look of the School
The school will be designed to compliment the Squantum neighborhood by scaling to be appropriate for the residential neighborhood and to reflect the values of the seaside community.
The Design Process
The project is currently in the Design Development phase, where the design is refined to a more detailed level. This follows the Schematic Design phase, during which the project team translated the initial concepts into preliminary drawings. In this phase, drawings are further developed to provide a clearer understanding of the building's design. While not fully detailed for construction, these drawings are comprehensive enough to convey the design intent and key aspects of the building.
In January 2025, the project will advance to the Construction Document phase.
