Project Phases: Feasibility

The Feasibility Phase of the Elmwood Elementary School Building Project are anticipated to last 12-14 months. The Feasibility Phase includes the following milestones:

​

• Forming the Project Team

• Hiring an Owner’s Project Manager

• Selecting a Designer

• Conducting a Feasibility Study

 

During the Feasibility Study, the Elementary School Building Committee and Hopkinton district/school staff work with the MSBA to document The Elmwood Elementary School’s educational program, generate an initial space summary, document existing conditions, establish design parameters, develop and evaluate alternatives, and recommend the most cost effective and educationally appropriate preferred solution to the MSBA Board of Directors for their consideration.

​

During this phase, the Owner’s Project Manager will submit, on behalf of the Hopkinton District and our designer, a Preliminary Design Program and a Preferred Schematic Report. Approval by the MSBA Board of Directors is required for the project to proceed into Schematic Design.
