The project was designed by Dinisco Design Partnership of Boston.

New campus gives Atlantis Charter solid footing, with a water view
/FALL RIVER — It was part of the original vision of the founders of the Atlantis Charter School, to serve students from kindergarten through the 12th grade on a campus that has a connection to the water.
After more than 20 years in operation as one of the commonwealth’s oldest charter school, that dream is now becoming a reality as construction of a new $36 million project has begun on more than 40 acres located on the shore of South Watuppa Pond.
“That’s how the school was founded, with those ideas in mind. The school has done really wonderfully over the years, but we’re really excited now about finally feeling this can come to fruition,” said Atlantis Charter School Executive Director Robert Beatty.
On Monday, Beatty and Associate Executive Director Mike Lauro gave The Herald News a tour of the construction site where crews from Agostini Construction were working, including pouring concrete into already constructed forms.
Beatty said the anticipated opening of the new campus is March 2018. Ground was broken at the more than 40-acre site in late November.

Structural steel is going up, and Agostini Bacon, the general contractor, plans to power through the winter months to keep the project on schedule, according to Robert Gilchrist, the company's project site manager.
At $109 million, the new school will accommodate grades 5-8, and will include a new auditorium, gymnasium and "academic neighborhoods" for students with project space, plus outdoor dining and an amphitheater. It is being built on the site of the former Memorial Building on Cabot Street.
