KIPP Academy Lynn Charter School
KIPP, the Knowledge is Power Program, is a non-profit network of 200 college-preparatory, public charter schools educating early childhood, elementary, middle, and high school students throughout the United States. KIPP expanded its reach in the MA region to the City of Lynn in 2004 and the City of Boston in 2012.
A client since 2006, QPD has served as “in-house” real estate director providing advisory services involving budget and schedule management, leasing, acquisition, financing, public process and oversight of design and construction for 3 locations in Boston serving students K-8. In addition, QPD has overseen master planning, leasing, acquisition, financing, public process and oversight of design and construction for KIPP’s Lynn campuses serving students in grades K-12.
QPD facilitated the project at 90 High Rock St from site selection through delivery. The state of the art facility was a ground-up construction project that was first delivered in 2012. Subsequently, QPD managed the addition of 10 additional classrooms and restroom space. The total building occupancy is 1,000 students.
