Townsend, MA – As summer vacation began for teachers and students, CTA Construction’s crews got to work on the new 180,530sf North Middlesex Regional High School. The two-story, brick-faced school will rise adjacent to its predecessor, which is slated to be demolished after completion of the new facility.

CTA Construction was the only prequalified contractor to submit a bid under the estimated construction budget of $68 million.

The project architect is Symmes Maini & McKee Associates of Cambridge, and the owner’s project manager is Heery International, based locally in Burlington.

The existing school, built in 1959 and expanded in 1971, has deficient building systems, including mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and the structure’s exterior. The new facility will serve 870 students in grades 9 through 12.
