Tabor Academy will begin construction shortly on a set of concrete bleachers to be installed on the hillside above the school’s football field. The bleachers will step down from the Spring Street parking area, and span across the 35-yard lines. Will Saltonstall, the architect on the project shared, “The bleachers will provide fans with easy access to more comfortable seating with midfield views of all the action. Part of the plan also includes handicap parking spaces in the Spring Street lot so that everyone can enjoy the games.”
Head of School John Quirk said, “We are pleased to be able to provide townspeople and our community, as well as people from visiting schools, with a comfortable and safe place to view the games and to cheer on the competitors. Whether hosting games for Tabor teams or from other area athletic programs, we are excited to know that we’ll have much improved seating for the great and supportive fans that so often join in the competitive spirit of our school.”
Will Saltonstall shared the project with Marion’s Planning Board on July 20 as a courtesy to make them aware of the upcoming construction and field any questions.
