Middlesex School, which serves boarding and day students in grades 9–12, recently moved forward with plans to build a new athletics facility for its campus in Concord, Mass., according to a news release. MassDevelopment recently issued a $43.7-million tax-exempt bond to fund the project, which will create an 80,000-square-foot field house building. The bonds were sold through a public offering that was underwritten by Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Inc., the news release reports.

Amenities will include multi-purpose practice courts, a fitness center, an elevated indoor track, wellness and physical rehabilitation spaces, meeting spaces, locker rooms, and covered parking. The project also entails resurfacing and restoring two turf fields on campus, as well as other capital improvement projects.

“Generations of students will benefit from Middlesex School’s investment in these new and improved athletic facilities,” said Marcos Marrero, MassDevelopment Deputy Director and Senior Executive Vice President. “MassDevelopment is pleased we can be a resource for nonprofit independent schools looking to renovate or expand their campuses.”

The building will be designed according to LEED Silver certifications. The school partnered with CBT Architects for the project’s design, Rimkus for project management, and Erland for its construction, according to the Erland website.
