Project Highlights

Lincoln School (K-8) | Lincoln, Massachusetts

Opening in the fall of 2022, the Lincoln School (K-8) in Lincoln, Massachusetts, holds an impressive title, the Commonwealth’s most sustainable school renovation. This renovation was designed to generate as much electricity as it consumes and is the first in the Commonwealth to achieve this level of sustainability in a public school renovation project.

CHA provided OPM services for the renovation of the 127,528 SF school and the construction of a 37,500 SF addition. The design retained the modernist theme of the original school while achieving net-zero energy class B standards for sustainability in a school renovation. Our project management team worked closely with the Town of Lincoln stakeholders to find solutions with the lowest possible energy use intensity (EUI) while remaining within budget. The $94 million renovation and addition provide many unique and welcoming learning spaces, including a central entrance, dining commons, kitchen, flexible learning commons, media center (library), and centralized administration office.
