Agawam High School and Early Childhood Center

New High School | Agawam, Massachusetts

The new Agawam High School and Early Childhood Center replaces a legacy 1955 facility with a state-of-the-art, 235,000-square-foot educational campus designed for modern learning. Organized around distinct collaborative "academic pods" and a vibrant community wing, the two-story design scales down the building's massing to beautifully reflect the town's local character and sloped-roof aesthetic. Geothermal heating and cooling anchor the project's deep commitment to sustainability, ensuring a future-ready environment that will serve generations of Agawam students.
