GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. — The School Building Committee is holding an information session and tour of Monument Mountain Regional School on Tuesday, April 1. 

 

The in-person tour of the high school starts at 5:30 p.m. and the information session at 6 p.m. The community session will also have a virtual component. The Zoom link is here and the meeting number is 897 4670 8537.

 

The committee will review the condition of the high school, the schematic design and the next steps in the project. 

 

The project would be a three-story replacement of the 1968 building, which was recommended by the committee last fall. The total project cost is estimated at $154,452,000 with about $59,300,000 reimbursed by the Massachusetts School Building Authority and $1,585,000 of incentives from MassSave for a local district share of $93,567,000.

 

More facts about the project can be found here. 

 

Voters rejected attempts to update the building a decade ago when the cost was estimated at $51 million with a $23 million reimbursement. 

 

The Berkshire Hills Regional School District was invited back into the MSBA pipeline in 2022.
