Robinson School Building Committee Explores 18 Preliminary Site and Building Plan Options

The Robinson School Building Committee reviewed preliminary site and building plan alternatives for a new school, presenting 18 distinct options across various sites and enrollment capacities (470, 705, and 1065 students). These options included new construction, additions, and renovations, with detailed considerations for site constraints, building orientation, traffic flow, parking, play areas, and adherence to MSBA guidelines. Several sites, including Day and aspects of Robinson and Farmer Way, were flagged as having significant challenges or unsuitability due to topography, wetlands, setbacks, or insufficient buildable area. The committee is gathering feedback on these options and criteria to narrow down the choices for further study.
