The new Hildreth Elementary School fulfills a 16-year effort to build an innovative school for future generations. Already a high-performing district, Harvard Public Schools worked with the design team to create learning spaces that support socio-emotional learning, foster community connections, and provide equitable access to encourage intellectual and social development.

Situated near the center of the historic village, the project restores a large, open field and links the new building to the neighborhood and town commons. The building orientation optimizes daylight and solar gain and creates a sheltered outdoor play space. An open, two-story library is the heart of the school. A large window frames the view of the town library across the street. Flexible learning spaces accommodate group and individual learning, and an Innovation STEM lab encourages scientific exploration.
