BELMONT, MASS. — Skanska USA has broken ground for the construction of the new Wellington Elementary School in Belmont. The project began with the demolition of the existing buildings. The new school will consist of two buildings connected by a two-story core that will house administrative offices, a media center, and art and music rooms. The 88,000-square-foot school will also be pursuing certification as a Massachusetts High-Performance Green School. Sustainable features will include a geothermal HVAC system, high-efficiency mechanical systems, and increased daylighting. Jonathan Levi Architects is the project's lead architect, and Burt/Hill Associates is the associated architect. During construction, Wellington Elementary students will be relocated to a modular classroom building at Belmont High School.
