We’re excited to announce that Fontaine has been selected to serve as the Construction Manager for the Digital Media Lab and Studio project at Salisbury School! This project will transform an existing space into a state-of-the-art facility featuring advanced technology, collaborative work areas, and specialized spaces for digital media production. With construction taking place during the academic year, our team will work closely with the school to ensure minimal disruption to students, faculty, and campus life.
At Fontaine, we believe that construction is about more than buildings—it’s about building lasting relationships. We’re honored to work with Salisbury School on this exciting endeavor and look forward to strengthening our connection through this project and beyond. Together, we’re excited to help redefine private school education across New England by creating spaces that inspire learning and foster creativity for years to come.
Last week, the Fontaine Team celebrated the Topping Off Ceremony for the UMass Amherst School of Public Health & Health Sciences Hub! This tradition marks the placement of the final steel beam, symbolizing a major milestone in the construction process.
When finished, the Hub will serve as the heart of the only publicly accredited School of Public Health in New England—providing a unified space where students can collaborate, access advising and support services, and utilize state-of-the-art classrooms and seminar spaces.
We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve earned the #1 spot in the Revenue Category at the Springfield Regional Chamber’s prestigious Super 60 Awards!

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! This monumental project, now the city’s largest school, stands as a symbol of Worcester’s growth and commitment to its future generations.
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!
Last Tuesday, members of the Fontaine Team were honored to attend the Construction Celebration for the new School of Public Health & Health Sciences Hub at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.

Once completed, the SPHHS Hub will be a modern, inspiring building designed to serve as the heart of the only publicly accredited School of Public Health in New England. #PublicHealth #HealthSciences #Construction

In honor of being named one of Engineering News-Record's #Top400Contractors for the fourth consecutive year, we wanted to showcase some pictures from the past 12 months that highlight the wonderful year we have had.
From closing out projects like the Shrewsbury Police Station and DeBerry Swan Elementary School, to holding groundbreaking ceremonies for new projects such as the William R. Peck and Tyngsborough Middle Schools, to celebrating our 90th year in business, 2023-2024 has been one of our best years yet.
