While the new Peck Middle School has been open and operational for several months, many community members may not have had an opportunity to see the learning spaces or get a feel for how the building flows from hallway to hallway.

In this 23-minute guided tour, Director of Facilities and Maintenance Sean Sheedy provides a virtual walk-through of the two-story, 107,475-square-foot school that opened for students in August 2025 following an 18-month construction process.

The $85.5-million project was officially approved in June 2023 by the City of Holyoke and the MSBA. From the outset, the City of Holyoke was responsible for paying approximately $27.1 million and the MSBA will reimburse approximately $58.4 million. However, the total cost of the project turned out to be less than the original estimate, with the City of Holyoke’s share now estimated at approximately $20.2 million, although figures will not be finalized until later next year.
