Boston Prep, a public charter school in the Hyde Park neighborhood, has received a MassDevelopment bond to build a new facility.
The school will construct a 49,000-square-foot, three-story school to house its middle and high school programs using the $17.5 million in funds.
The building will include classrooms, common areas, science labs, a library, small group instructional spaces, a gym, a cafeteria, outdoor athletic space and new technology.
“Charter schools across the commonwealth are in high demand and need improved and expanded facilities to educate the next generation,” MassDevelopment President and CEO Marty Jones said in a statement. “We’re pleased to work with Boston Prep to help the school move to its new Hyde Park home.”
Opened in 2004, Boston Prep serves 415 students in sixth through 12th grade.
Citizens Bank purchased the bond, and MassDevelopment estimates the project will create nearly 100 construction jobs.
