Summary
Superintendent and principals said the Middle School Building Committee will submit a design package to the Massachusetts School Building Authority next week; the district plans an updated public meeting and to post new renderings and a virtual walkthrough online.
Canton — The Canton Middle School building project is moving to a technical design milestone next week, district leaders said May 15, with a submission scheduled to the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) and public update on May 21.
Superintendent Follin and principal Mulhern told the school committee that the building committee will present a design submission to MSBA and that updated renderings and a virtual walkthrough will be available to the public afterward. The district also plans to hold the building-committee meeting at the district library learning lab to improve recording and broadcasting for Canton Community TV.
“This is an important submission and the updated renderings give the community a better sense” of the proposed building, a district official said during the meeting; the presentation noted the project’s high approval vote at town meeting and the public outreach process that included more than 45 public meetings.
Why it matters: The MSBA process is a formal step toward design approval and eventual construction; the district said it would continue to use community working‑group meetings to refine color schemes and interior details and to gather public feedback.
District staff asked the school committee and the public to attend the May 21 presentation, after which renderings and the virtual walkthrough will be posted on the project website for wider access.
