Brookline HS Celebrates Grand Opening Of Tappan Street Building

BROOKLINE, MA— The Public Schools of Brookline is celebrated a milestone in the Brookline High School Expansion and Renovation project last week with the opening of the 22 Tappan Street building, according to Superintendent Linus Guillory.

The new academic building serves over 700 BHS students and is constructed over the MBTA tracks at the Brookline Hills Station, which reopened to the public earlier this month following months of renovations.

Features of the new building include a highly transparent cafeteria, library, and theater facing Cypress Field. The building is also home to general use classrooms, physics labs, special education classrooms, administrative, and building support spaces.

The grand opening of 22 Tappan also unifies the BHS community through a single schedule for all students and concludes the need for cohorted travel between the Old Lincoln School and the 115 Greenough Campus.

"We want to thank all of our students, staff, families, and community members for their support and patience in this project, as well as members of the construction and building teams for their hard work and persistence!” said Guillory in a statement.

The high school expansion project is part of an ongoing response to a growing number of students entering the Brookline School District. For details on individual construction sites and completion timelines, click here.
