HVAC project team sets timeline aiming for August MSBA meeting and potential fall town vote
Summary
The district's HVAC project team reviewed timelines including potential electrification, roof replacement and solar readiness; a full report is due in June to position the project for an August MSBA meeting and a possible town vote in the fall, with funding needed by December to stay on track for June 2027 construction.
District staff told the Harvard School Committee that the HVAC project team has reviewed project elements and timelines, including potential electrification options, roof replacement and making the site solar-ready.
The team said ADA compliance upgrades could become required if costs exceed thresholds and that a full report is expected by the end of June. That timeline is intended to position a project presentation for the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) in August and to allow for a potential town vote in the fall. Project funding would need to be secured by December to keep construction on track for targeted completion in June 2027.
Committee members noted the complexity of the project and the need for continued community engagement. The meeting record did not specify exact cost estimates or the funding sources that would be pursued; committee members emphasized that funding must be secured to meet the construction timeline.
