Today we celebrate the groundbreaking of the Worcester South High Community School. South High will consist of 360,000 SF new state-of-the-art school with a projected construction budget of $170 million; the largest project in the City's history. Today, the project team, city of Worcester, staff, and community, all came together to celebrate this wonderful day in history, changing the future of education for the students who will have the pleasure to walk the halls of the new South High in 2021!

In July of 1933, Dave Fontaine Sr’s grandfather and his brother founded a construction company. We are proud to be celebrating 85 years in business! For more than eight decades, Fontaine Bros. has prospered and become one of the most highly respected contractors in New England. David Sr. has been our President for the past 20 years. He says proudly, "I have had the privilege to continue this legacy and work alongside a family of talented and dedicated builders. While construction technology and our economy has changed so much over the past 85 years, our values as a company have remained true".

"Hughes said the project is moving with speed, as the actual groundbreaking took place about a month before the ceremony, as the Fontaine Brothers took advantage of the good weather to move the project along ahead of time."

The Templeton Elementary School project consists of the construction of a new 93,000 SF Pre-K through grade five school facility in Templeton, MA. The new school includes a three-story building with classroom wings, a gymnasium, cafeteria / auditorium, kitchen, administrative areas, and support spaces.

The Springfield Public School system is a large and diverse community, with approximately 26,000 students, about 4,000 employees, and nearly 60 schools. The Culinary and Nutrition Center project is a state-of-the-art facility designed to support the SPS food service program expansion plan.

The new Nelson Place Elementary School project consists of a new pre-kindergarten through sixth grade elementary school, constructed behind the existing, fully-occupied Nelson Place School. This project was successfully completed just behind the existing school without causing disruption to the school or the surrounding neighborhood. At its closest point, the new building was erected only 55 feet from the former school building. Utilizing “blackout hours,” Fontaine restricted construction vehicle and delivery traffic to specific times to ensure that there were no interruptions to the school day.

Fontaine Bros. completes the $40 million project to the Plymouth town hall. This project consisted of the renovation of an existing 11,000 SF and addition of 62,000 SF of the 1820 Courthouse building.

The year was 1927, when City of Worcester first opened the doors of Nelson Place Elementary School. Yesterday, 90 years later, the City dedicated the new Nelson Place Elementary School building in front of a packed crowd of students, parents, staff, and alumni. From all of us at Fontaine Bros., a special thank you to the City for entrusting us to serve as your Construction Manager at Risk.

This renovation project consisted of expanding the original 1903 Howe Memorial Library with a modern addition that complements the existing historic architecture.

On Wednesday, June 28th, Fontaine had an extremely successful grand opening for our new office location in Worcester, MA. We appreciate everyone who came out to support our growth and look forward to being a part of the Central Massachusetts business community.
