Finegold Alexander celebrated the erection of the structural steel framing during the beam signing ceremony for The Community Group’s new educational facility in Lawrence, MA. Principals Regan Shields Ives, Christopher Lane, and Tony Hsiao, Senior Associate Mary McCarthy, and Architect Clara Castro attended the celebration with team members from construction manager W.T. Rich and OPM QPD.

Speakers included TCG Chief Executive Officer Maria Gonzalez Moeller, QPD Principal Lindsay Richard, Regan Shields Ives, W.T. Rich Project Executive Steve Taylor, and Senior Director of Strategic Projects Lauren Kushman, each emphasizing the important project milestone.

“We’ve really enjoyed working so closely with the whole TCG team to bring this project to fruition,” Regan said. “We set out to make this new educational facility one that really reflects the TCG community of children, educators, parents and caregivers; one that is warm, safe, and inviting as well as inspiring.”

Construction began in July on the new 53,000 SF educational facility which will house Community Kids Place and will unify three upper school campuses of Community Day Charter Public School under one roof. The building will serve the community through after-school programs, athletics, and youth summer activities. Located on a beautiful former farm site, the facility will include instructional space, offices, gymnasium, cafeteria, playing fields and outdoor learning areas for a seamless connection to nature.
