About this project
The Springfield School District is expanding Springfield Middle School at 1901 Paper Mill Road on its roughly 19-acre campus. The work adds an auditorium, a new surface parking lot, sidewalks, crosswalks, an emergency drive, underground stormwater basins, and a geothermal well field, for about 21,500 square feet of institutional space. An existing basketball court, a loading area, and a parking area are being demolished to make room.
