Groundbreaking for New Green Meadow Elementary School in Maynard, MA
CTA Construction Managers has officially begun the construction of the new Green Meadow Elementary School in Maynard, Massachusetts. This exciting educational project, which aims to cater to the needs of young students, started with a groundbreaking ceremony held last month, marking a significant step in the town’s efforts to enhance educational facilities.
New Facility Details
The planned school will cover an impressive 90,525 square feet spread over two stories and will accommodate approximately 395 students from grades K through 3. In addition to the regular curriculum, the facility will also feature a dedicated Pre-K program catering to around 100 young learners, offering a comprehensive educational experience from an early age. The school is designed to employ about 110 faculty and staff members, ensuring that each child receives adequate attention and support in their learning journey.
Innovative Design Features
The architecture of the new Green Meadow Elementary School has been crafted by the Mount Vernon Group Architects, known for their innovative and functional designs. The building will feature a central core that includes essential public spaces such as a gymnasium, cafetorium, administrative offices, a health suite, and a media center. Additionally, the school’s layout will incorporate two classroom neighborhoods dedicated to students from Pre-K to grade 3, designed to foster an engaging and inclusive educational environment.
The two wings of the school will house general education classrooms, special education classrooms, support spaces, common areas, and restrooms, providing a well-rounded educational setting. This thoughtful design aims to create a warm and inviting atmosphere that promotes learning and development among young students.
Project Location and Community Impact
Situated on a 33-acre site, the new school is conveniently located near residential areas, wooded land, and a town park. The construction of the new facility is strategically planned to take place just 30 feet away from the existing Green Meadow Elementary School. Following the completion of the new building, the current school will undergo abatement and demolition, paving the way for further enhancements to the site.
