Stoneham School Building Committee Hosts First Forum
First Community Forum hosted virtually!
The Stoneham School Building Committee (SSBC) recently hosted an interactive online presentation to update the community on the planning of the Stoneham High School Project.
Community Forum #1 provided an overview of the eight online Visioning sessions held in July, which brought together Stoneham High School stakeholders to look at innovations and future thinking, and to explore, discuss and influence the best possible solutions for an extraordinary future-ready facility for Stoneham students. The Visioning group included SSBC members, teachers, high school students, community members and experts in the fields of science and technology, sports and recreation, higher education and environmental branding.
During the August 11th Forum, presenter Brooke Trivas from Perkins and Will, along with Joel Seeley from Symmes Maini McKee Associates and experts in several building fields shared highlights from the Visioning sessions, and provided information on the existing conditions of the current high school building and site. Presenters also explained the scope of the PDP feasibility study and the MSBA process and schedule.
