Lower School Construction

Perkins is making exciting progress in the construction and renovation to update our 100-year-old Lower School campus. The project has become an educational opportunity for our students, who will ultimately gain more independence as a result of the design's improved accessibility and resources. We invite you to follow this journey in the photos below. This gallery will be updated periodically as the construction moves forward.
