The New Dorm Starts Up

After six weeks of crushing ledge, moving dirt and relocating utilities, we finally achieved what feels like upward progress. The cement trucks were coming most of the day, filling the foundation forms that will yield the walls for the foundation. It feels great to starting up...
These are the early steps in what will be a new dorm with rooms for up to 62 students and four faculty apartments. Construction will be completed late next winter with landscaping waiting for spring to come. The first students will most likely move in next summer. For a look at some of the early plans for the new building, click the images under "One Building Scheme".

This is an exciting new chapter for The Winchendon School. The new student rooms will allow us to bring the home stay students back on campus, provide new rooms to replace the aging ones in Cottage, and free up rooms in the existing dorms to expand faculty residences in those buildings. And, as importantly, the new dorm will provide two apartments for faculty families now living off campus and two other single family members.

Stay tuned for further updates!
