Finegold Alexander is working closely with The Community Group on the design of a new 53,000 SF facility in Lawrence, MA. The new building will be used by the Community Day Charter Public School's upper school while also serving the wider TCG 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. When complete, The Community Group will have a new facility that supports its mission to foster student success, celebrate diversity, and enrich the learning experience for every child it serves.

Construction began in July 2025. Check out the progress since then below:

The structural steel framing is complete and the exterior sheathing installation on the first floor has begun.

Steel framing and sheathing on the first floor is in progress. The exterior of the building will be a combination of gray and tan brick to seamlessly blend into the natural setting.

Working with WT Rich, our team reviewed brick mockup panels to select the mortar and exterior joint sealant colors.

The project is on schedule to be complete early 2027.
