Pare was a member of the architectural team which provided design, construction documents, and construction-phase services for two new middle schools in Quincy, MA. The new 115,000-SF, 620-student Central Middle School was completed in 2014 and the new 95,700-SF, 460-student South-West Middle School was completed in 2020. Pare was the civil engineer and provided environmental, permitting, geotechnical, and traffic services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The site design effort included layout, grading, low-impact drainage design, design of the sewer service, and other coordination of utilities. Both projects involved construction phasing plans which minimized disturbance to site operations, especially on the 5-acre South-West site where the new building went up within 15 feet of the existing school before it was demolished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As part of the design, Pare performed a traffic impact analysis including a capacity analysis and evaluation of pedestrian safety on and around the project sites. Pare also completed Phase 1 ESAs for the projects. The South-West site also features a synthetic turf field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pare assisted with the preparation of the LEED documentation. Central Middle School was certified LEED Gold and South-West was certified LEED Silver.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"market":[11],"class_list":["post-2828","project","type-project","status-publish","hentry","market-education"],"yoast_head":"\n
