Engineering Resilience for a
Net-Zero Campus
Arlington High School
Arlington, MA
The new Arlington High School is a transformative, carbon-neutral campus designed to serve future generations while embodying the town’s commitment to sustainability. Constructed in phases across the existing 22-acre site, the project required careful coordination to ensure uninterrupted learning as students and faculty remain on campus throughout construction.
Samiotes provided civil engineering services including stormwater management, grading, hardscape design, site utilities, and LEED elements to support this ambitious project. Key contributions included:
-
Designing stormwater systems that manage runoff effectively across multiple construction phases
-
Developing grading and hardscape solutions that balance functionality with accessibility and aesthetics
-
Coordinating site utilities to support phased occupancy and minimize disruption to ongoing school operations
-
Supporting the project’s sustainability goals, which included maximizing on-site renewable solar energy and achieving an all-electric, carbon-neutral design
Through resilient and sustainable engineering, Samiotes helped deliver a high-performance learning environment that reflects Arlington’s forward-thinking approach to education and climate responsibility.
