HENRY K. OLIVER BUILDING PROJECT

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.

Concrete mat slab placement with rebar foundation for walls

Concrete mat slab placement is now complete. Rebar installation for the foundation walls and spread footings has started along with the CMU elevator shaft installation. Utility work has commenced onsite. The next step for the team is to prepare foundation walls for concrete pour.
