On Wednesday, October 30th, members of the Fontaine team gathered alongside representatives from Walpole Public Schools, the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA), The Vertex Companies LLC, and Tappé Architects to celebrate a major milestone: the ribbon-cutting of the new Walpole Middle School! This project has been a true celebration of teamwork and collaboration from start to finish. Together, we brought to life a 162,193-square-foot facility, merging two middle schools into one vibrant, modern space. From the groundbreaking ceremony in November 2022 to Wednesday’s ribbon-cutting, every step reflected the hard work and dedication of everyone involved, creating a welcoming new home for Walpole students and a source of pride for the entire community. We’re thrilled to have been part of such a transformative project!

On October 17th, the Fontaine Team joined the City of Worcester in celebrating the ribbon cutting of the new Doherty Memorial High School!

Over the past three years, we've worked closely with our project partners Dimeo Construction Company, LPA | Architects, and AECOM Tishman to make this school a living lab—a project built by the diverse community it represents. In doing so, we're proud to share that over 400,000 hours were worked by people of color, women, and city residents, and more than $50 million was spent with minority and women owned businesses. Thank you, Worcester, for the trust you have placed in us over the years!
