Shaker Lane Building Project Update

Shaker Lane Building Committee Update - February 4, 2025

The Shaker Lane Building Committee (SLBC) has been working on phase two of the project (Feasibility Study) and submitted the completed PSR (Preferred Schematic Report) to the MSBA (Massachusetts School Building Authority) in December 2024. As part of the PSR, an FAS (Facilities Assessment Study) was presented to an MSBA subcommittee on January 29, 2025. The MSBA subcommittee was impressed with our education plan for the reimagined Shaker Lane School. They were also impressed with the preliminary design of a new Shaker School presented at the meeting. The SLBC is scheduled to meet with the MSBA Board on February 26, 2025, and we anticipate a vote to move the building project into the design phase of the project. We are so excited to begin the design phase of the building project, which will provide us with a blueprint of the new school and allow us to develop a more accurate building project cost.

Our educational needs for Shaker Lane School have significantly changed since it was built. We are looking forward to a reimagined Shaker Lane School, designed to better align with 21st-century learning and provide the necessary space for our current and future programming needs, resulting in an exciting and vibrant learning community for our youngest learners.
