School committee selects KBA as architect for Brockton High MSBA project after public interviews
Summary
Following architect interviews coordinated with the Massachusetts School Building Authority, the School Committee reported that KBA was selected to work on the Brockton High renovation project; committee members said the firm’s phased approach and high‑school experience stood out.
The School Committee announced that KBA was selected as the architect to work with Brockton Public Schools and the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) on the Brockton High School renovation project.
Committee members said the selection came after in‑person architect interviews on April 22 with three finalists and a scoring panel that included school and MSBA representatives. A vice chair’s report to the committee said KBA scored highest in the panel’s review and that the firm offered strong technical and high‑school experience.
“I thought it was amazing. It makes me very excited about the future,” said a member of the administration describing the winning presentation, citing the firm’s experience with phased approaches and sensitivity to costs and disruption. Committee member Miss Oliver praised the presentation, saying the firm effectively incorporated student input and presented a compelling vision for Brockton High.
Committee members also noted the interview was an open public proceeding that drew Brockton residents; the administration said the selected architect team will meet with district staff and Leftfield (the district’s owner’s project manager) to continue planning. The committee did not record a formal vote on this item in the meeting transcript; the selection and next‑step meetings were announced for follow up.
