On Wednesday July 23, contractors are moving two modular classrooms from the Killam School to the Reading Memorial High School campus. This is in relation to the building of the new Killam School. The work is expected to occur between 5:00 AM and 7:00 AM, and could minimally impact some commuters in the area.
The contractor will take the following route with the modulars: A left onto Charles street leaving Killam, followed by a right onto main street, a left onto Birch meadow Drive, and a left onto Oakland Road to RMHS. A police es**rt will manage safety throughout the relocation, and both modulars are expected to be at RMHS by 7am.
Permanent Building Committee Chair Pat Tompkins recently did this informative interview on the Killam School Building Project with Around Reading - MA. Looking for more information after watching? Visit the project website at www.killamschool.com

The Killam School Building Committee is currently in the feasibility phase, the first leg of the MSBA journey, reviewing a Preliminary Design Program. This program explores various site options to determine if we should replace, renovate, or expand Killam School. By Fall 2024, we’ll choose the best plan to move forward.
Curious about what’s next? Watch this video for the full timeline and details!
With invaluable community feedback, the Killam School Building Committee has produced an essential MSBA step in the process: the Educational Plan. This "Ed Plan" outlines guiding principles for the design team as they draft plans for a new Killam.
Watch this video to learn more about the "Ed Plan" and the vision for a new Killam School! Join us at 7pm on Wednesday, August 14 at the Reading Public Library to hear from the KSBP team on the preferred design solutions.
