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.
Ongoing work includes the exterior brick veneer installation, window and curtainwall installation, terracotta mounting system and insulation, the interior framing and drywall installation, and the installation of MEP systems throughout the building. Painting has begun on the third floor. The repointing of the existing building has been completed and the punch list has now been created. Piping and duct connections have been made to the roof top units and the kitchen hood, freezer, and cooler units have been set in place.
