Gymnasium wing of the new Norwood High School, Norwood, MA
The new recently-opened $68.6 million Norwood High School is the first school facility built under Massachusetts' cost-saving “Model School Program" which incorporates successful design elements from existing schools into the design of new facilities. Rather than “reinventing the wheel” for each new school project, the use of an existing “model” simplifies the design process, reduces the amount of time it takes to build a new facility by at least one year, and utilizes design dynamics that have already been deemed successful by students, teachers, and administrators.
Pare Corporation was the civil engineer for this new high school project. In addition to site and drainage design, PARE also provided traffic and roadway engineering, geotechnical engineering, soil remediation, athletic field design, and construction-phase services. PARE worked closely with Ai3 Architects throughout the project from planning to ribbon-cutting.
