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 installation of exterior brick veneer, salvaged granite, exterior terracotta and metal paneling, and windows and curtainwalls are all ongoing. The team is also continuing to install ceiling grid framing, interior window trim and sills, ceramic wall and floor tile, interior partition drywall and finish, and first coat primer painting. Installation of the new roof system on the existing buildings has been progressing to ensure it is watertight. Installation of light fixtures has also begun and the main feeder cables from the main electrical room are being run throughout the building.
