Noble and Greenough School in Dedham will use a $9.11 million tax-exempt bond from MassDevelopment to help renovate and expand its medieval-like dining hall.
The school will use bond proceeds to renovate and expand the "Castle," a late 19th century building that now serves as the school’s dining hall, with meeting space and faculty housing on the upper floors, according to a statement. Nobles plans to renovate and reconfigure the existing 34,000-square-foot space and link to a new one-story, 13,000-square-foot addition.
"The academic rigor and leadership cultivation at Nobles have translated to college success for its many students," said MassDevelopment President and CEO Marty Jones. "We’re pleased to support Nobles and the tradition of quality college preparatory schools around the commonwealth through this low-cost financing."
Bond proceeds will also go toward renovating the upstairs library and study into meeting spaces, adding an elevator and expanding and updating faculty housing, according to a statement.
"This project will be transformational for our school," said Noble and Greenough Business Manager Steve Ginsberg. "The ‘Castle’ is the campus icon and this project will allow us to preserve the existing building and add to it in a meaningful way to support students and faculty now and for generations to come."
