Officials from Groton Public Schools, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the Town of Groton joined students, educators and representatives from Leftfield, Studio G Architects and Gilbane Building Company to celebrate the official topping off of the 110,000-square-foot Florence Roche Elementary School.
Designed by Studio G, with Leftfield serving as owner’s project manager and Gilbane as construction manager, the new facility will address growing concerns regarding the state of the existing facility, originally constructed in the 1950s, and accommodate 645 students in grades kindergarten through four.
The new school will support 21st-century learning and Universal Design for Learning. The two-story design organizes grade-level learning neighborhoods into two academic wings with shared project areas, dedicated special education rooms and support spaces. In addition, the cafeteria and gymnasium are located off the entry lobby for easy public access and feature a shared stage for performances in either area. Other shared learning spaces include a media center, an outdoor learning lab, a STEM lab with an outdoor patio for student projects and music and art classrooms.
Florence Roche Elementary School is slated for completion by 2024.
