The SAU 39 Joint Facilities Advisory Committee was appointed and tasked by the SAU 39 School Board with conducting an analysis of the state of public education facilities in Amherst. The committee works to provide recommendations to the governing bodies (Souhegan Cooperative School Board, Amherst School Board) regarding the interim and long-term facilities needs of the public-school facilities in Amherst, taking into account educational outcomes and how to best level the cost impact to residents in an efficient manner.
The Committee is working with the SAU, School Boards, and the Architectural Firm of Banwell Architects https://www.banwellarchitects.com/ ,the Construction Management firm of DEW Construction https://dewconstruction.com/ and the the Civil Engneering firm of Tighe & Bond Civil/Site Planning & Design – Tighe & Bond (tighebond.com). All firms have extensive experience in public school design, site planning and construction.
