Quincy, MA – November 2024 – Lee Kennedy Company has been selected by the City of Quincy , MA to lead the construction of the new Squantum School. Partnering with architectural firm Arrowstreet and Owner’s Project Manager PCA360, the project will deliver a Net Zero, future-ready elementary school while preserving the historic 1919 structure.

The new Squantum School will feature a two-story design incorporating the historic building while adding approximately 30,000 square feet of interior space over the existing structure.

Designed to support Quincy’s elementary-level curriculum, the Squantum School will feature a variety of classrooms and specialty spaces, including:

• Kindergarten: Three classrooms with restroom facilities.
• Grades 1-5: Three classrooms per grade, designed for collaborative and individualized learning.
• Specialty Facilities: A regulation-sized gym, STEM and arts classrooms, a music room, a media center/library, and a flexible-use cafetorium.
• Outdoor Learning: An exterior courtyard designed as an outdoor classroom, offering students a connection to nature and experiential learning opportunities.

With a commitment to ensuring minimal disruption to current students, the Squantum School Project will implement modular classrooms on the tight construction site. These classrooms will enable students to continue their studies on-site, with minimal disruption, while the new building is under construction.

“We’re honored to bring our expertise to this transformative project in Quincy’s Squantum neighborhood,” said Lee Michael Kennedy, President and CEO of Lee Kennedy Company. “The Squantum School Project represents the best of modern construction: sustainable, adaptable, and designed for the needs of 21st-century learners.
