High School Project on Schedule!
The construction and renovations for the new Beverly High School remain on schedule. Five phases of construction work allow for minimal impact to the current high school programs while maximizing the construction teams' productivity.
Phase 1A includes construction of the new academic 4-story tower, renovations to the auditorium and music rooms, and construction of the new public entrances to the hallway that separates the auditorium and field house. The current completion date for this work is November 18, 2010, with the possible exception that the music rooms could be available September 1, 2010.
Phase 1B includes the locker rooms, upper gym and adjacent classrooms, custodial areas, and the new kitchen. The target date for these is April 22, 2010. When these areas are ready, we will begin preparing meals in our new kitchen and serving meals in the upper gym area. This allows us to begin renovations in the old kitchen and the cafeteria on April 26, 2010. This work is Phase 1C, and it has a substantial completion date of March 8, 2011.
Phase 1D, which includes the field house, also begins on April 26, 2010. This phase has a substantial completion date of November 19, 2010.
Phase 2 involves the work of removal of hazardous materials, followed by demolition of the current facility and restoring the site. We plan to vacate the Patton Wing in mid-October so that Phase 2 work can begin in just that part of the building. This will be timed in a way so that work would proceed smoothly from the Patton Wing to the rest of the wings once we have moved out, sometime around Thanksgiving 2010. Completion of this work plus the final site work is targeted for December 16, 2011.
Obviously this is an extensive project and a very exciting time for all of us in the Beverly community!
As always, if you have any questions about our schools, please do not hesitate to contact a building principal or central office administrator. To contact the Superintendent's Office, you may call 978-921-6100 or email me at
