The new Henry K. Oliver K-8 School is being constructed on the location of the former Oliver Elementary School and retains a portion of the existing historic structure. The 1,000-student school complex will combine the Oliver Elementary School and Oliver Middle School under one roof. The City of Lawrence has partnered with the Massachusetts School Building Authority, from which partial grant reimbursement will be received. Construction of the new School is ongoing with anticipated occupancy for the start of the academic year in the fall of 2025. Sustainable features have been incorporated into this project which is expected to receive a LEED Silver designation from the U.S. Green Building Council.
The exterior metal paneling system installation is approaching completion along with the framing and drywall of the existing wings. Install of finishes is ongoing throughout the building which includes casework, wall and ceiling tile, and classroom flooring. The basketball hoops have been placed in the main gym with final connections being completed. Epoxy flooring has been placed in the kitchen area and the elevator contractor has begun to install the elevator rails and car within the elevator shaft. Installation of doors and hardware will begin shortly after framing and drywall is complete within the building.
