Zervas Elementary School

OVERVIEW

The new Zervas Elementary School was part of a larger development project undertaken by the City of Newton to address growing enrollment and the advanced age of the existing facilities. The original Zervas School building was built in 1954 and was no longer addressing curriculum needs or the standards for educational facilities set forth by the State of Massachusetts.

The design of the new Zervas Elementary School echoed features of the new, recently-completed Angier Elementary School in Newton, which was also built by W.T. Rich.
