DEDICATION
"All architecture is shelter, all great architecture is the design ofspace that
contains ...exalts, or stimulates the persons in that space."
This quotation by Philip Johnson in a 1975 address at Columbia University is
an appropriate recognition of the positive impact that the recently completed
school construction projects have had on Medfield's educational staff, students
and the greater community. Planning for the Memorial School, Thomas A.
Blake Middle School and Amos Clark Kingsbury construction projects was
initiated during the 1999-2000 school year. Today the Town ofMedfield has
three school buildings that not only house our student population but also
provide appropriate spaces for our modern educational and extracurricular
programs. The successful completion of the projects would not have been
possible without the commitment and perseverance ofthe five volunteers who
have each served for the past seven years. The 2005 Annual Town Report to
the citizens ofMedfield is dedicated to the members of:
The Permanent School Planning and Building Committee for the
renovations and additions to the Memorial Elementary School, Thomas A.
Blake Middle School and the Amos Clark Kingsbury High School.
