Committees: School Building Committee News and Announcements Renderings of the proposed Hingham Middle School Final Phase 1 Budget November 4, 2011 (PDF) Phase 1 Cost Estimates September 6, 2011 (PDF) School Building Committee Update Following successful votes at the Special Town Meeting and ballot box in late October, the School Building Committee wasted no time in turning its attention to the next phase of project design. The schematic renderings developed this past summer have been refined to include specific space components and reflect both functionality and aesthetic that combine quality, taste and cost efficiency. Extensive middle school staff and user group meetings provided essential input, which has highlighted a collaborative approach to this endeavor while positively influencing design development. The MSBA formally approved the project at its Board meeting in late September and has confirmed Hingham's rate of grant reimbursement at 43.87%. As the project schedule solidifies, focus has turned to the permitting that will be required to proceed. With an aggressive and optimistic plan in place, the spirit of collaboration has resulted in a coordinated effort that will yield an initial group project presentation to the Planning Board, Conservation Commission and Board of Health on January 23, 2012. The development of construction-level design documents will allow additional cost estimates to be performed over the winter providing further opportunities to address the overall project costs leading up to the bidding process slated for April. As presently forecast, the 24-month construction phase should begin in June paving the way for new school occupation in September 2014. The School Building Committee will continue to meet regularly and welcomes public attendance and input. Community participation and inquiry are enthusiastically encouraged. Detailed meeting minutes will continue to be promptly posted on this site. Stay tuned for further project updates and details. School Building Committee Members: Raymond C. Estes, Chair
