BHS Expansion Project

In May 2018, Brookline voters supported a debt exclusion override to fund the expansion and renovation of Brookline High School. This building project will include the construction of a new building at the 111 Cypress Street site, a new Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) building to replace the building at the corner of Tappan and Greenough Streets, renovations to the 3rd floor of the main building and the Tappan gymnasium, as well as improvements to Cypress Field.

​Construction on the Brookline High School Expansion will officially begin on June 10.  Over the next two years, the team of Skanska Construction and architects William Rawn Associates will oversee the construction of a new science wing at the corner of Tappan and Greenough and a new building at 111 Cypress Street. Starting on June 24, several sidewalks along Greenough, Tappan, Sumner, and Cypress Streets will be closed off so the building sites can be made safe and so a delivery area can be set up. Regular deliveries involving large vehicles will also affect traffic along these routes, so the Town and Police Department will be working diligently to minimize traffic and parking issues.

Demolition to the existing buildings at Tappan and and Greenough and 111 Cypress Street will begin later in the summer, and work on the Brookline Hills MBTA station will begin in September 2019. Please know that Skanska will work with subcontractors and craftsmen to ensure sensitivity to the surrounding neighborhood, and to maintain a clean and safe job site at all times. Demolition and construction is expected to begin in July 2019 and be completed by August 2021. ​​
