We're thrilled to announce that the Pentucket Regional Middle High School project in West Newbury has been recognized as the Best K-12 Project by Engineering News-Record New England's Best Regional Projects Awards! This achievement wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible collaboration and dedication of our partners: The Vertex Companies LLC and DORE + WHITTIER. Together, we delivered a state-of-the-art educational facility that reflects innovation, quality, and a commitment to the Pentucket community. Check out the video to see highlights of this award-winning project! Congratulations to everyone who contributed to making this vision a reality. We are proud to celebrate this milestone with you!

As Eversource’s Technical Assistant Providers, we (Thornton Tomasetti) are honored that The Pine Hill Elementary School in Westwood was awarded 2024 Energy Excellence Award for New Construction Design of the Year category! The new two-story, 113,000-square-foot elementary school serves more than 500 students and 100 staff members, is a predicted zero net energy and fossil-fuel-free facility. The accolades go to the designers DORE + WHITTIER and the team. Thornton Tomasetti served as a NZE consultant. Among other things, we utilized our powerful web application to facilitate iterative decision-making processes and helped the project to target an EUI of 25.

In the discovery and visioning phase for the Hatherly Elementary School in Scituate, the D+W design team learned of a desire for purposeful innovation, the need for spatial variety and flexible learning environments that could accommodate a wide variety of activities, and an imperative to design with the community in mind. Now in Design Development, the Cushing-Hatherly Elementary School – a consolidation of two existing schools – features two internal courtyards that connect interior classrooms to the outdoors for creative play, fair-weather dining, portable container gardening, and outdoor learning. The gymnasium and cafeteria are linked by a two-sided stage that allows presentation ability on each side for school or after-hours community use. Outdoor facilities for age-specific playgrounds, basketball, and the rededicated Flannery Memorial Field create opportunities for shared experiences and community connections. Climate resiliency and ecological protections are incorporated into the stormwater management plan to slow and direct flows in response to the sensitive natural environment adjacent to the school. These systems will be put on display as scientific and ecological demonstrations using signage geared toward young learners. Designer: DORE + WHITTIER OPM: The Vertex Companies LLC

D+W was pleased to present at this year's Better Buildings by Design Conference. Representatives from our Norfolk Fire Station Design Team were joined by Norfolk Fire Chief Erron Kinney and Mass Save Technical Reviewer, Carey Havey from The Green Engineer, Inc. to present: "Cost: No Obstacle to Sustainability, Believe It!" The presentation focused on Norfolk Fire Station in Norfolk, MA, one of the first Mass Save Pathway 1 ZNE-ready public safety buildings. Norfolk Fire, currently under construction, is an all-electric design solution to achieve a zero-carbon-emissions facility. Energy performance targets were established to comply with Mass Save ZNE Pathway 1 Incentive Program and achieve a zero-net-energy-ready facility. Mass Save has recently congratulated the Town of Norfolk for achieving Pathway 1 status. The Design targets and measures include the following: - Predicted Energy Use Intensity (pEUI) of 32.87. Exceeding the MA Save program target of 35.  - Implementing sustainable strategies and measures with a 10-year or less payback period. - Solar-ready roof and infrastructure designed to accommodate a 25kW photovoltaic (PV) array. - Electric vehicle charging stations.
