Kennedy Elementary School's new addition, with Mayor Michelle Wu, Boston Public Schools Superintendent Mary Skipper, the City's Public Facilities Department, and community members in attendance.

The new addition will include a 4,000 square foot two-story building with a main entrance at-grade level, a new stairwell, an elevator serving all three levels of the building, and accessible toilets. Additionally, renovations will be made to improve accessibility and fire protection throughout the existing school building.
