About

No longer accommodating the growing population and struggling to keep up with modern learning amenities, the community of Andover, MA chose to start fresh. The new West Elementary and Shawsheen Preschool combines K-5 students and PreK students under one roof in a net zero ready building. This fulfills multiple needs and resources in one facility and reduces the number of times local students will need to change schools as they progress through their education.
