Sutton, MA – The town of Sutton recently held a groundbreaking ceremony for the Sutton Middle/High School renovation and addition project. In attendance were state and local officials; owner’s project manager Jon Winikur, project director; and principal Duncan McClelland of Flansburgh Architects, the architect-of-record for this project.
TLT Construction Corp, Wakefield is the general contractor.
Flansburgh’s approved design calls for a 125,000sf addition and renovates the athletics and science facilities in the most recently constructed portion of the existing high school.
The older structures will be demolished to make way for the addition to bring the school up to 175,000sf.
This approach was the most cost-effective of the options studied and satisfies the requirements for site sustainability, water conservation, reduced energy use, wise use of materials, and a high level of indoor environmental quality.
The new 125,000sf addition will include a 500-seat auditorium, a new middle school gymnasium, classrooms, science labs, and a cafeteria.
Construction is phased so that the school remains fully functional with appropriate safety for students and staff during the process, and is expected to be fully completed in time for the start of the school year in September 2014.
