State Treasurer Steven Grossman, Chairman of the Massachusetts School Building Authority (“MSBA”), and Jack McCarthy, MSBA Executive Director, announced today that the MSBA Board voted to invite the Town of Carver to collaborate on a Feasibility Study to look at possible solutions to the deficiencies identified by the district at the Carver Elementary School.
“We are committed to working with Carver officials to find the best alternative for the Carver Elementary School,” said Treasurer Grossman. “This collaboration will develop a cost-effective solution that ensures Carver students can develop and flourish in a state-of-the art, 21st century learning environment.”
Carver Elementary School was constructed in 1951, with an addition being made in 1957. The building area is approximately 99,000 square feet. The District has identified deficiencies in building systems including plumbing, boilers, electrical and doors.
“This Feasibility Study will carefully examine all potential solutions to help us develop the most effective plan,” stated Executive Director McCarthy. “We look forward to partnering with the District to move this potential project forward.”
The MSBA partners with Massachusetts communities to support the design and construction of educationally appropriate, flexible, sustainable and cost-effective public school facilities. Since its 2004 inception, the Authority has made over 1,350 site visits to more than 250 school districts as part of its due diligence process and has made over $10.7 billion in reimbursements for education capital improvement projects.
