Dear members of The Joseph Sears School community,
Although the school building is closed to students, we are still hosting our
Two-hour Community Visioning Conversation, tonight, March 12, 2020, at 7:00 p.m., in The Joseph Sears School MPR.
As we begin our Master Facilities planning for the Joseph Sears School community, The Board and Administration are working with DLA architects and Cambridge-based New Vision Design to conduct Visioning sessions. The objective of the strategic visioning process is to capture the best thinking about Sears School’s current and future educational goals and priorities and connect these to best practices in innovative school facility design.
The Board and administrative team will look to the larger Sears community to provide input throughout the Master Facilities Plan development and believe that starting with a strategic vision is critical. DLA and New Vista will be building off of the educational and architectural priorities first established in similar meetings held in November 2018. The feedback will result in a revised and updated set of goals, priorities, and desired design elements that will inform and guide all aspects of the Sears School renovation and redesign process.
