Building Project

Project Overview

Fall Brook Elementary School Building Project 

The City of Leominster, in partnership with the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA), is moving forward with the Fall Brook Elementary School building project! The project team held Public Meeting #1 on Tuesday, November 19, 2024, at 6:30pm in the Fall Brook Elementary School Cafeteria. The project team made a presentation on the process, schedule, and progress of the project.

Public Meeting #2 is currently scheduled for January 30, 2025, (time TBD) and Public Meeting #3 will be held in March 2025 (date & time TBD).

On August 29, 2024 the Project Team submitted the Preferred Schematic Report to the MSBA. This report summarizes what option has been selected as the preferred option, after developing and reviewing both addition/renovation options as well as new build and code upgrade. In all, there were five options that were considered, and ultimately based on educational programming, student & faculty needs, space requirements and cost, option N1 for a new building on the existing site was selected as the preferred one.

The last step for the Preferred Schematic Design process was the October 30, 2024 Board of Directors Meeting where the MSBA approved the project to move forward into the next module – Schematic Design.
