Boston/SF.com 10/28/10: Wayland High School Project Designed by HMFH Architects Starts Construction. HMFH Architects, a leading architectural firm focused on the design of innovative learning environments, announced that construction has commenced on the new Wayland High School in Wayland, Massachusetts. Slated for completion for the 2012 school year, the $56.2 million project includes 160,000 SF of new construction and 40,000 SF of renovation. KVAssociates is the Owner’s Project Manager and Shawmut Design and Construction is the Construction Manager at Risk (CM-at-Risk) under Massachusetts’s new construction statute. The original Wayland High School was designed and built in the early 1960’s and widely touted for its modern form – a modular, team-teaching, California-style campus of eight buildings. Thirty years after it opened, selected upgrades such as roof replacement, system repairs and new finishes were made to the facility, but the physical condition and the energy performance of the school continued to deteriorate. “This long-awaited project will ensure that the Town of Wayland continues its tradition of excellence in delivering quality education,” said Gary Burton, superintendent of the Wayland Public Schools. “Our Building Committee has been working closely with HMFH Architects since 2004 to define the best ways to modernize our physical facilities so that our already successful school can continue to thrive and excel. We are confident that this construction process will result in a superior new high school.”
