Hunnewell Project: Construction

On Monday 2/26/24, students and staff returned to

Hunnewell Elementary School.

A small ribbon cutting was performed for the students as they entered the new building for their first day of classes.

Public tours and the dedication of the new Hunnewell School took place on May 18th during Wellesley’s Wonderful Weekend.

​

The opening of the new Hunnewell Elementary School marks a momentous occasion for Wellesley as the town continues to replace its aging educational facilities with new buildings. The original school on Cameron Street, built in 1938, was razed in June 2022 to make way for the brand-new $55 million, 76,500 sq. ft., building, which will have 18 classrooms (with capacity for a 19th).
