On June 5, 2024, the City of Watertown held a topping-off ceremony for the new 200,032sf Watertown High School, which will serve 720 students in grades 9-12. Members of the community and the design/construction team gathered to sign the last steel beam before it was installed. It was especially rewarding to see some enthusiastic (not to mention, festively and adorably wardrobed) future Watertown High School students making their mark on what will become their new high school building. We celebrate this project milestone, marking a significant point in the construction progress.
It has been exciting to witness the building rise from the foundations and begin revealing its final form. The dedication of the Building Committee, the design team, students, teachers, and passionate public participation that prioritized community, equity, inclusion, and environmental stewardship all contributed to creating this incredible educational and public resource that is targeting Net Zero and LEED 4.0 Platinum certification.
Ai3 is thrilled to continue collaborating with the City, the School Department, the MSBA, the OPM (The Vertex Companies), and the General Contractor (Brait Builders Corporation) in making this beautiful new school come to life for the students, staff, and community of Watertown, MA.
