WT Invites Community to Building Project Forum: Thursday, 2.16 at 7pm

Superintendent Maureen Lynch invites the community to a forum next week to discuss the future of Whittier Tech’s building and learn about proposed solutions.

WHEN:

Thursday, Feb. 16, from 7-8 p.m.

WHERE:

Whittier Tech Auditorium, 115 Amesbury Line Road

Community members also may watch the forum live via YouTube here.

WHAT:

Whittier Tech is working with the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) in an effort to renovate and/or replace the Whittier Tech building. The forum will serve as a way to meet the team managing the project, learn about the process and view the three proposed solutions.

The team includes the School Building Committee, Leftfield Project Management, JCJ Architecture, and school and local town officials.

"We hope to be joined by members of the Whittier Tech family at the forum so they can see how the project is progressing and what the next steps in the process will be," Superintendent Lynch said.

Whittier Tech’s building was constructed in 1973. During the past 50 years, Whittier has worked diligently to maintain and adapt the building to changing needs. However, the building is not best-equipped to support new technology and the needs of the 21st-century workforce.

The MSBA works with local communities to create affordable, sustainable, appropriate, flexible, and cost- and energy-efficient public school facilities across Massachusetts.
