I\u2019m very pleased with how the city and SBC members worked together to create the team who delivered the new Fuller Middle School on time and under budget. Thank you to all who made this happen, including the Owner\u2019s Project Manager, Joel Seeley, from SMMA; Jonathan Levi, FAIA, of JLA Architects; and Consigli Construction.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new school builds on Framingham Public Schools\u2019 commitment to providing a 21st century, student-centered education with an emphasis on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics). STEAM-compatible educational environments are achieved through the creation of student-driven, problem-based, and hands-on project spaces within the school&#8217;s three floor levels. Performing arts is a key component of the curriculum, being supported by the Chris Walsh Performing Arts Center in dedication to the late Representative Walsh, one of the founding members of the School Building Committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe new Fuller Middle School continues to be a hallmark of our district and has reimagined the ways in which teaching and learning happens in a space that allows for visible modeling and hands-on experiences to make learning tangible for our students,\u201d said Superintendent of Schools Bob Tremblay. \u201cOn behalf of our students, their families and caregivers, and our staff, we wish to extend our deepest gratitude to the taxpayers of the City of Framingham for their support of this project.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>[broadstreet zone=&#8221;58893&#8243;]<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>[broadstreet zone=&#8221;59947&#8243;]<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The school is equipped with several energy-saving features, including roof and solar carport (photovoltaic) systems that will generate 81% of the school\u2019s electrical use.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The School Building Committee met 90 times over the course of the project, steering the work through successful design and construction stages, and ending their work this week after closing out all final invoices. Despite the uncertainty of building during a pandemic, the project was completed safely and on time by the contractor Consigli Construction with support from Owner\u2019s Project Manager SMMA and Jonathan Levi Architects, with 1,269 successive days of construction without an accident.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new school opened in the summer of 2021. The School Building Committee completed the project under budget. Of the $98.3 million appropriation, approximately $4.3 million no longer needs to be bonded, resulting in a savings to the city and taxpayers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt has been an incredible experience to participate in the School Building Committee and to help see Framingham\u2019s newest school building to completion,\u201d offered Dave Miles, Co-Chair of the School Building Committee. \u201cThe Project Management, Design, and Construction teams worked so very well together, particularly during the pandemic, to execute and complete the building on time and under budget. They were all very agile, managing and adapting to schedule changes due to delays in materials, closures, etc. Additionally and notably, they always remained aware and thoughtful of the needs of the Fuller Middle School staff and the residents of the neighborhood who had to deal with traffic, noise, and other inconveniences during the construction phase. It was an honor to co-chair the committee since 2018 with Dr. Ed Gotgart, alongside the members of the SBC and various other volunteer groups, all of whom remained conscientious and dedicated to the task at hand. All members brought a wide range of experiences to the table, so all issues were reviewed thoroughly from many perspectives. I would like to extend my deepest appreciation to the Construction Working Group who met weekly to keep everything moving smoothly, as well as FPS staff members in Technology and our partnership with FEC-TV which allowed meetings to remain accessible when everything was remote.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>[broadstreet zone=&#8221;59946&#8243;]<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the appropriation of $3,212,670 in partnership with the Mayor, City Council, School Committee, and Parks and Recreation Commission, the construction of two synthetic multi-purpose fields was completed in the fall of 2022. Those fields are now available for use by the students and community.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe City of Framingham\u2019s residents and taxpayers are very thankful for the work of the Fuller School Building Committee for delivering the new middle school over 4 million dollars under budget,\u201d said Philip R. Ottaviani, Jr., Chair, District 6 City Councilor. \u201cThe process and collaboration was incredible to watch from the beginning to the completion of this state-of-the-art middle school and community asset. Not only did this process demonstrate how thoughtful and respectful the committee was to the taxpayers of Framingham, but once again, shows that your city government can be trusted to get the big projects done despite COVID setbacks and, in this case, under budget and to also include 2 new synthetic turf fields. As the Chair of the Council, I look forward to working with my colleagues, the city administration, school administration, and the school community to continue our efforts of building a new southside pre-K and elementary school a reality.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYears ago, the Fuller School Building Committee committed to working towards building a community asset in our Southside to welcome our students and reaffirm our commitment to equity in education,\u201d shared Priscila Sousa, School Committee Chair, District 5. \u201cThrough their diligence, expertise and passion they delivered so much more than that. As School Committee Chair, I have no words to express how thankful I am for their efforts and what they have accomplished. I am hopeful we can replicate their efforts through lessons learned as we embark on the next building projects.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>[broadstreet zone=&#8221;58610&#8243;]<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the construction of Fuller Middle School is now complete, the school\u2019s PTO is selling commemorative bricks to community members who wish to contribute to the legacy of Fuller\u2019s past or celebrate the future. Beginning in the Spring of 2023, engraved bricks will be placed within the walkway nearest the side entrance, adjacent to the gymnasium and the Chris Walsh Performing Arts Center. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Any community members, including Fuller Middle School Alumni or families of future Fuller Falcons, who are interested in purchasing engraved bricks, should&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:kwood@framingham.k12.ma.us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">email Mrs. Kerry Wood, Principal of Fuller Middle School<\/a>.  When the purchase process and order form are available for the broader community, Principal Wood will provide all of the necessary details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new Fuller Middle School is a three-story building with a learning commons\/cafeteria at the core surrounded by collaboration balconies fronting a perimeter of classrooms, an 8,300-square-foot gymnasium, 420-seat auditorium\/performing arts center, full-building air conditioning and state of the art ventilation system, ADA Accommodations, outdoor amphitheater, turf athletic fields, and solar and battery clean energy projects. Additionally, there is space for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics (STEAM) instructional areas. No swing space was required during construction, which meant a lack of neighborhood interference, and there was no need to temporarily move students to an alternative location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> The MSBA provided Framingham a grant of $39.4 Million covering the eligible feasibility study, design and construction costs, which means that the City\u2019s share after the grant from the MSBA and funds from the Capital Stabilization Fund ($8 Million) was $46.1 Million (was originally planned to be $58.8 Million). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"724\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/framinghamsource.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/SUMMER-CAMP-SOURCE-2023-724x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-92766\" srcset=\"https:\/\/framinghamsource.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/SUMMER-CAMP-SOURCE-2023-724x1024.jpg 724w, https:\/\/framinghamsource.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/SUMMER-CAMP-SOURCE-2023-212x300.jpg 212w, https:\/\/framinghamsource.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/SUMMER-CAMP-SOURCE-2023-768x1087.jpg 768w, https:\/\/framinghamsource.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/SUMMER-CAMP-SOURCE-2023-1085x1536.jpg 1085w, https:\/\/framinghamsource.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/SUMMER-CAMP-SOURCE-2023-1447x2048.jpg 1447w, https:\/\/framinghamsource.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/SUMMER-CAMP-SOURCE-2023-scaled.jpg 1809w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 724px) 100vw, 724px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In full transparency, the following is a press release. *** [broadstreet zone=&#8221;53230&#8243;] FRAMINGHAM &#8211; On Monday night, January 9, the School Building Committee (SBC) culminated the 9-year process to replace the aging Fuller Middle School with a new 137,000-square-foot state-of-the-art facility.
