Project Overview

Since starting the feasibility and completing the first submission to the MSBA, the options of building layout and enrollment continued to be narrowed down from the original 30 versions, and the goal was to have the one final option selected in February.

At the SBC meeting on February 22, 2024 the School Building Committee formally voted on proceeding with submitting the Preferred Schematic Report on February 29, with the selected option NC2.0 with an enrollment of 900 students and that was submitted on February 29 to the MSBA.

The project is now in Schematic Design, with the next submission due to the MSBA on August 29, 2024. Below are some of the most recent renderings for the proposed  new school.

The project team evaluated the layout on the site and determined the best option to accomodate the school activities while working with the restraints of the site such as wetlands, traffic patterns, parking and athletic fields was Option 1. 

Project Background

On or about June 2, 2021, the Owner submitted a Statement of Interest (Attachment A) to the MSBA for South Shore Regional Vocational Technical High School. The MSBA is an independent public authority that administers and funds a program for grants to eligible cities, towns, and regional school districts for school construction and renovation projects. The MSBA’s grant program is discretionary, and no city, town, or regional school district has any entitlement to any funds from the MSBA. At the October 26, 2022 Board of Directors meeting, the MSBA voted to issue an invitation to the Owner to conduct a feasibility study for this Statement of Interest to identify and study possible solutions and, through a collaborative process with the MSBA, reach a mutually-agreed upon solution.
