All of these programs are postSCHOOL | FROM Page 1 engineers are revisiting everything that is known about the existing site. And some new design options have emerged. Perkins Eastman, which was selected as the architect for the project, has proposed a six-story academic wing as part of the project. The added height would provide some relief to neighbors whose homes abut the school property and allow construction teams to avoid those constraints. Schools Superintendent Diane Kelly expressed some concerns about students moving from the fi rst to the sixth fl oor during classes. However, she was reminded that schools in New York City are often seven, eight or even 10 stories and it’s worthwhile to consider vertical space. While there is a list of tentative dates for reports, meetings and votes, one obstacle is Article 97, which requires Revere to replace any parkland it ed to YouTube to watch at your convenience. You can watch a new episode of “Amplify Student Voice,” this time featuring a few Revere High School students.

Ericola Park will be needed to build on the existing site. Dakin said the design team is bracing for the most stringent interpretation of Article 97. “We’re assuming they are going to tell us we have to get a new park online before we put a shovel in the ground,” said Dakin. “If we have to build it in advance, it’s going to have to go at Wonderland.” The design options the committee reviewed involved moving the school buildings to a triangle-shaped section at the end of the site that abuts Route 60. Keeping the field house is also on the table, although bringing it up to code is considered a complex task. Designs emphasize a campus feel for the project. Dakin continually stressed that these are just options and there are many meetings which will allow city offi cials and residents to weigh in on the design. The schedule for upcoming meetings is available on the project’s website at https://rhsconstructionproject.com
