Finegold Alexander has just completed the MSBA Feasibility Study and Schematic Design phases of the Leicester Middle School project. After a rigorous existing building and site conditions assessment in parallel with a series of educational visioning workshops with the District, it was determined that a new Pre-K-8 school would be the most cost-effective approach for the Town.

The design is organized around the concept of “two schools under one roof”—lower school for grades Pre-K through 4 and upper school for grades 5 through 8—and features a central gathering point or “School Commons.” The shared spaces, including the Gymnasium, Cafetorium and Media Center, surround the School Commons to be used by both the school and the community.
