Construction has begun on a $293 million Doherty Memorial High School in Worcester, Mass.
The 426,000-square-foot facility will replace the existing 55-year-old school as well as two closing schools — Worcester Classical and Worcester Commerce high schools, reports The Telegram & Gazette.
The new building will have a theater, an auditorium with over 800 seats and a 18,000-square-foot gymnasium.
The school will have green design features that include 1,776 rooftop solar panels.
The school is expected to open in August 2024.
LPA|A Architects designed the facility and Fontaine + DIMEO is the contractor.
