Renovation
Taunton High School underwent a $112 million dollar renovation. The John F.Parker Middle School is being removed from the High School and a new wing is being constructed that will house the operations of the John F. Parker Middle School. The renovation is being handled by the firm of Bacon & Agostini.
From Bacon & Agostini
The project consists of renovations to the existing 496,503SF three story high school and middle school building and a new 62,365SF three story middle school addition, as well as site, utility and road work. This is a phase project in which the existing building will continue to be occupied during construction. The schedule is aggressive, especially during the summers and coordination will be complicated. The final completion is scheduled for August 2011.

Famous quotes containing the word renovation:
“Forgetfulness is necessary to remembrance. Ideas are retained by renovation of that impression which time is always wearing away, and which new images are striving to obliterate. If useless thoughts could be expelled from the mind, all the valuable parts of our knowledge would more frequently recur, and every recurrence would reinstate them in their former place.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“Postmodernity is the simultaneity of the destruction of earlier values and their reconstruction. It is renovation within ruination.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
