Town and School Building Survey Results
![Town and School Building Survey Results](https://ehop.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/IMG_0051_kale-1200x800.jpg)
Recently the Permanent Building Committee, in conjunction with the School Committee, did a survey of all Town and School Buildings. We are including a brief summary below, but you may click here to read the full results. The group was charged by Board of Selectmen and School Committee to study ALL Town and School Buildings for condition and necessary repairs. The study did NOT review buildings for suitability of use. The study strictly analyzed buildings as currently used with no feasibility analysis. For example these repairs would not expand any older buildings that may now be considered too small for a town of Hopkinton’s current size. It would not enlarge any classrooms in Center School, where classrooms are currently smaller than rooms at the other two elementary schools. Any projects related to buildings which are to be replaced MAY reduce or eliminate cost. Required ADA compliance was factored into cost estimates given in the survey results.
Town Buildings: The total cost of repairs needed over the next five years in current dollars is approximately $2,658,782 (2.6 million dollars). The following town buildings need repairs that exceed the value of the building itself: Public Library and DPW Wood Street Highway/Water Building. The following town buildings need repairs that exceed the 30% value of the building, requiring full ADA compliance: Woodville Fire Department, DPW Wood Street Sand Shed and DPW Facility on Mahew Street.
