Fuller Middle School OPM Services

The City of Framingham, MA hired SMMA to provide Owner’s Project Management (OPM) services for the new Fuller Middle School. The project replaces the existing middle school with a new 137,000 square-foot facility located on the school’s former parking lot. 

This relocation strategy helped the client avoid temporary swing space expenses. It also minimized disruption to ongoing educational activities by leaving the existing school in operation during the construction phase. 

The learning commons forms the heart of the school. 


This grand area is surrounded by an array of shared spaces to forge community: the media center, cafeteria, makerspace, music and art classrooms, fabrication lab, gymnasium, and auditorium.

The layout boasts two segmented arcs of classrooms facing one another across an open three-story learning commons atrium. Classroom clusters can be flexibly arranged within the floors by utilizing monumental stairs and aggregating floors of cohort classrooms. At the center of these cohorts is a collaboration space, each co-located with a cohort satellite station area.

Students and teachers enjoy a host of student-driven, problem-based, and hands-on project spaces spread across the school’s three floors. These spaces are linked by a high degree of visual and functional connectedness. 

Designed by Jonathan Levi Architects and constructed by Consigli Construction, Fuller Middle School opened in August 2021.
