The following district presented on the progress of their proposed project at the March 25, 2026 Massachusetts School Building Authority (the “MSBA”) Facilities Assessment Subcommittee (the “FAS”) Meeting:
District: Franklin County Regional Vocational Technical School District
School: Franklin County Technical High School
Phase: Schematic Design
Owner’s Project Manager: Colliers Project Leaders NE, LLC
Designer: LaVallee Brensinger Architects
The Franklin County Regional Vocational Technical School District (the “District”), the Owner’s Project Manager, and design team presented an update on the District’s preferred solution to replace the existing Franklin County Technical High School with a new facility serving students in grades 9-12, on the site of the existing school. The FAS, MSBA staff, and the District discussed the following:
- Refinement of the design and site development since approval of the District’s Preferred Schematic;
- MESA/MEPA requirements and associated schedule considerations, including anticipated conditional approval of the District’s Project Scope and Budget and timeline for execution of a Project Funding Agreement;
- Suggestion for sheltered access to the building for individuals with limited mobility; and,
- Continued refinement of the entry plaza as the design progresses.
