Q. will the 1928 building project impact the high school project?

A. The 1928 Building Project and High School Project will be completed in conjunction with one another. In an effort to maintain collaboration and communications, a FHS Building Committee Liaison was appointed to serve on the 1928 Building Committee and provides updates at each meeting.

The renovation of the 1928 building does require modifications to the site plan. The updated site plan proposes a distinct separation of Town Hall and Farmington High School use. Parking for the Town Hall will be on the West side of the 1928 Building while student and central office parking remains nearly untouched from the Farmington High School plan (some spots are proposed to be relocated to provide more of a buffer between High School parking and dedicated 1928 Building parking). The site plan also calls for the relocation of the tennis courts to better accommodate parking for the 1928 Building.
