RSBC Public Workshop #3 - May 18th, 2026

This was the third public workshop held by the WestfordCAT Robinson School Building Committee on June 17, 2026, focused on the feasibility study for addressing the needs of the Robinson School and potential consolidation of elementary schools in the district. The committee discussed the partnership with the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA), which offers up to 48% reimbursement for eligible costs, and outlined the process including site selection, educational programming, and infrastructure assessments. Several town-owned sites were evaluated for suitability, with detailed existing conditions studies covering structural, mechanical, and environmental factors, as well as traffic and safety analyses conducted by consultants. The meeting emphasized the challenges of accommodating various enrollment scenarios, potential school consolidations, and the impact on traffic, parking, and neighborhood safety. Community input was sought on site options and traffic conditions, with plans for further design development and redistricting studies to follow. No specific contract awards or procurement decisions were made during this meeting, but the discussion centered on planning and feasibility that will inform future capital improvement projects and procurement activities related to school construction and renovation.
