Greylock Elementary School Groundbreaking Begins New Chapter for North Adams

Recently, the Fontaine team celebrated the groundbreaking of the new Greylock Elementary School, marking an exciting milestone for both the project team and the North Adams community.

The ceremony highlighted what makes this project special: its connection to the neighborhood it will serve for generations to come. Some of the project’s youngest neighbors, students from a daycare located beside the site, were invited to take part in the groundbreaking after spending months watching construction activity from along the fence line. From excavators and trucks to the first stages of site work, the project has already become part of their daily routine.

Their participation served as a reminder that Greylock Elementary School is more than just a construction project. It’s a future learning environment being built for the students, families, and community of North Adams.

With construction officially underway, progress continues to move quickly across the site. Initial foundation areas are prepared, early material deliveries have arrived, and inspections are complete ahead of upcoming concrete placements. Demolition operations also continue, with debris and topsoil haul-out helping reshape the site for the next phase of work.

Fontaine is proud to partner with Colliers Project Leaders and TSKP Studio Architects on the new Greylock Elementary School project. Together, the team is building a modern school designed to serve the North Adams community for years to come.
