Hopkinton, MA – Construction manager Colantonio Inc. recently joined about 75 residents and local and state officials to celebrate the groundbreaking of the Hopkinton Early Elementary School.
The 82,000sf school features classrooms; a gymnasium; kitchen; cafetorium; and art, health, music, and specialized classroom spaces geared for prekindergarten, kindergarten, and first-grade students.
The facility will provide two playgrounds, a play field, and connections to adjacent town-owned parcels, including EMC Park.
The project will target LEED Silver certification with measures and equipment that reduce water use and optimize energy performance, including a rooftop photovoltaic array.
The Hopkinton Elementary School Building Committee selected Compass Project Management (CPM), DRA Architects, and Colantonio Inc. as its partners. “You chose a great team. I’ve worked with a
ll of them,” said Jack McCarthy, executive director of the Massachusetts School Building Authority. “I know this will be done on time and on budget.”
The project will be completed in August 2018.
