Feasibilty Study

 Feasibility Study

The Feasibility Study is the design's earliest and most critical part. This phase includes information gathering, investigation/assessment of current conditions, establishing goals/objectives, defining educational and community programming needs, and developing planning options.

Feasibility Study Goals:

• Generate an initial space summary based on District’s educational program

• Document existing conditions

• Establish design parameters

• Develop and evaluate preliminary and final alternatives

• Define budget

Three options for the project will be considered per MSBA Guidelines:

1. New construction

2. Addition/renovation

3. Renovation only

Resources:

• MSBA Website

• MSBA building process

• Phases of the MSBA building process

Project Overview

The MSBA invited the Blackstone Millville Regional High School to conduct a Feasibility Study for the Blackstone Millville Regional  High School.

The Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) is a quasi-independent government authority created to reform the process of funding capital improvement projects in the Commonwealth's public schools. The MSBA strives to work with local communities to develop affordable, sustainable, and energy-efficient schools across Massachusetts.

 The Legislature created the MSBA in 2004 to replace the former school building assistance program administered by the Department of Education (now the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education). 

The MSBA, which has a dedicated revenue stream of one penny of the state's 6.25-percent sales tax, is collaborating with municipalities to equitably invest in finding the right-sized, most fiscally responsible, and educationally appropriate solutions to create safe, sound, and sustainable learning environments.
