Massachusetts school district makes $14 million HVAC investment to get AC in every classroom
Reported byThe Cool Down ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Springfield Public Schools has reduced schools without air conditioning from roughly 30 to 8 through a $14 million HVAC investment. Four elementary schools recently received new ventilation systems and boiler upgrades, with three more schools scheduled for installation next. Over $1 billion has been invested across Springfield's school facilities as part of a larger renovation campaign.
Eight schools still lack air conditioning; the project continues to completion.
