New school building project
Concord Carlisle High School moved to a new, eco-friendly building in mid-April 2015, after almost 18 years of planning.[21] The old school, which featured a one-level "California Layout," was constructed in the 1960s and 1970s. However, the design was deemed unsuitable for the weather and conditions prevalent in Massachusetts. In 2011, the towns of Concord and Carlisle granted initial approval for the construction of a new school. The project took approximately four years to complete and is located behind the previous CCHS building, with a reversed orientation. The total cost of the project was $93 million.
The new school has a 600-seat auditorium, 2 attached gyms, and a 'media wall' consisting of 9 flat-screen televisions in the cafeteria. The new building also includes many updated safety features that the old building lacked, including fewer exits and entrances, and automated doors with security cameras and alarms.[22]
On September 6, 2022, voters elected to raise taxes by an estimated $660,822 in order to redesign and rebuild the school's access road.[23]
