The City of Cambridge and Cambridge Public Schools celebrated the construction of the Tobin Montessori and Vassal Lane Upper Schools with a groundbreaking ceremony on Wednesday, December 15, 2021.
The new schools will replace the existing school, located between Vassal Lane, Concord Avenue and Alpine Street. The state-of-the-art facility will house the Tobin Montessori School, Vassal Lane Upper School and multiple Department of Human Service Programs, including Special Start. The groundbreaking marks a milestone for the project, which is expected to open to students in the fall of 2025.
The building, designed by Perkins Eastman, reflects the City’s high standards for educational success and will meet its aspirations for being the most sustainable and energy efficient school building in the City of Cambridge, with the 359,100 square foot structure designed to be Net Zero Emissions under the City’s Net Zero Action Plan.
