The new Henry K. Oliver K-8 School is being constructed on the location of the former Oliver Elementary School and retains a portion of the existing historic structure. The 1,000-student school complex will combine the Oliver Elementary School and Oliver Middle School under one roof. The City of Lawrence has partnered with the Massachusetts School Building Authority, from which partial grant reimbursement will be received. Construction of the new School is ongoing with anticipated occupancy for the start of the academic year in the fall of 2025. Sustainable features have been incorporated into this project which is expected to receive a LEED Silver designation from the U.S. Green Building Council.
Exterior installations this month include window and curtainwalls, brick veneer, terracotta and metal paneling, drainage trench system, and curbing along Oak Street. Interior installations include continued framing and drywall throughout the new and existing building, ceramic and porcelain tile, ceiling grid and ceiling tile, millwork, and casework placements. Additionally, light fixtures, devices, and cover plates are being installed on the upper floors of the building, and primer coating and finish painting are ongoing.
