Skanska Completes School Renovation Projects

Belmont, MA – Skanska recently announced the completion of the $256 million, 451,000sf construction and renovation of the new Belmont Middle and High School in Belmont, and the completion of renovations at Boston College, which included a $1.5 million renovation of the 1,100sf Higgins Hall auditorium.

The Belmont Middle and High School project, awarded to Skanska by the Town of Belmont, aimed to replace the high school with a new facility to encompass grades 7-12. The existing high school structure remained in operation while the new structure was under construction. Then in phase two, the old high school was demolished and the connecting middle school was constructed. Renovation work to the existing field house was carried out over three summer breaks.

The newly constructed 4-floor structure includes new academic and science wings, media facilities, administrative and health suites, and a new dining common area. Additionally, the school’s existing gymnasium and swimming pool amenities were renovated; new playing fields and landscaping were implemented; and new access entry points, drop-off circles, and sidewalks were constructed.

To meet the Town of Belmont’s goals of building a zero fossil fuel and

Belmont Middle and High School highly sustainable building, Skanska implemented a myriad of sustainable features throughout the project. The new structure utilizes a geothermal system to heat and cool the entirety of the building via the installation of 283 geothermal wells, ensuring it is 100% fossil fuel-free. Relying entirely on renewable energy, the net-zero structure additionally includes an array of solar panels on the roof that provide a third of the property’s overall energy and is currently going through the process of seeking LEED Gold certification.

Construction at Belmont Middle and High School began in June of 2019. CHA Consulting operated as the owner’s project manager and Perkins & Will served as the architect for the project.

The project at Boston College, referred to as a “summer slammer,” concentrated on upgrading educational facilities during the summer months in preparation for the students’ return to campus for the upcoming fall semester. Skanska began renovations on the Higgins Hall auditorium immediately after graduation in May. Renovations included demolishing the existing seating, replacing the flooring, and the installation of new finishes for the ceiling soffits and acoustic wall panels. Additionally, new millwork was implemented throughout the auditorium.
