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.
The window and curtainwall, brick veneer, and terracotta paneling system installation are all ongoing, along with the repointing of the existing masonry. The drywall installation is close to completion on the 3rd floor and will begin soon on the 4th floor. The rough installation of the fire sprinkler system has continued on the 4th floor and has now begun on the 2nd floor. The roof top units and the emergency generator have been set in place, the stormwater and sewer building tie-ins are now completed.
