Coady School Residences in Bourne connects the community to the town’s rich cultural history with affordable housing options set within the former elementary school. The Coady School main building was renovated per National Park Service Guidelines for Historic Renovation, and expanded to the rear to provide a total of 58 residential units of new housing and support services. The new construction portion is a 3 story, wood framed plus basement with masonry fiber cement siding which adds an additional 38,000 SF.

The new 100,000 square foot community features a variety of communal spaces rich in historic character retained in the renovations: original open stairs, full proscenium at the entry lobby, and science greenhouse restored as a sun room - all washed in natural daylight through the large restored windows. Connecting corridors between the school and new addition frame intimate outdoor resident gathering spaces.
