~Building Project Archive

ABRSD is in the middle of a large-scale school building project. The first phases of an existing conditions study and development of a master plan, described below, have been completed. A School Building Committee was established in June 2017 to continue the process of planning for a new twin elementary school, in partnership with the MSBA, to replace some of our aging buildings.

At Special Town Meetings on December 4, 2017, residents of both Acton and Boxborough voted to approved funding for a feasibility study and preliminary design for this project, which are now in process. To learn more about the building project, please see the slides from the public forums and a video tour of the Douglas School. For additional information, email ABBuilding@abschools.org.
