TELL US: What Would You Like to See at a New Angier Elementary?

The Board of Aldermen and School Committee met last night to discuss preliminary design ideas for the school -- but what are you looking for?

Although the Angier Elementary rebuilding project is in its early stages, city and school officials are starting to consider some of the design possibilities for the new school. 

Last night, the Newton Board of Aldermen met jointly with the School Committee to hear more about those initial possibilities from the project's design firm, DiNisco Design.

Leno Filippi, a principal architect with DiNisco, presented several plans for both new construction as well as options for renovation or additions.
