5 At A Glance 5 What’s Happened so far? 5 Phase 1 Wings Open

Phase 1 Wings Open

FEBRUARY 2022

Mass Ave entrance

The STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) and Performing Arts wings opened February 28, 2022, and the Auditorium is anticipated to open in early April. 

LEARN ABOUT:
WHAT’S NEXT:
  • Completion of the Auditorium (install finishings, seats, stage rigging, etc.).
  • Due to the delayed opening of the Auditorium and out of an abundance of caution, the school has opted to rent the Mosesian Center for the Arts in Watertown for the spring musical since the auditorium opening date and the performance dates are so close together.
  • Phase 2 of the project is now underway and entails demolition of part of the old school and construction of a new wing that includes Humanities, District offices and Menotomy Preschool. 
  • We hope to offer parents and community members tours of the new wings after the Auditorium opens. Tour information will be posted on this site.
