In December 2022, we celebrated the raising of the last steel beam at the new Josiah Quincy Upper School facility at 900 Washington Street, Boston, MA 021111. This was a significant milestone in this construction project, a $193 million facility supported by the City of Boston and the Massachusetts School Building Authority.

The new six-story facility will accommodate 650 students, and will include:

  • a rooftop outdoor classroom and activity complex
  • a media center
  • athletic and fitness areas
  • a black box theater
  • auditorium and cafeteria, and
  • other learning and administrative spaces.

The design includes a fresh air make-up system and enhanced filtration to mitigate air pollution from vehicle traffic on nearby highways.
