Algonquin Regional High School
Northborough, Massachusetts
Completed in 2009, the Algonquin Regional High School project included additions and renovations totaling 360,000 SF, a major expansion of playfields, and a redesign of site circulation. The multi-phased construction project took place in and around the occupied building and site. Detailed phasing drawings and specifications described the exact cope of work and delineated the areas accessible to both the owner and contractor during each phase of work. Coordination of the mechanical, electrical and sewage systems were also addressed for each phase as new systems came on-line to replace the antiquated existing systems.

Testimonials
Our Customers Love Us and We Love Them!
Alan Perrault
Harbor Bath HouseTrustees of Hingham Bathing Beach
As someone who has worked in both construction and community planning and development for over forty years, I most appreciate architecture when it is tasteful and complementary to its setting. The projects designed by Strekalovsky Architecture always reflect this objective. Vcevy and Mark take the time to understand the context of the building or addition that they are designing and, as a result, their finished products, while being architecturally distinctive, still fit seamlessly into their settings.
Working with Vcevy and Mark at Strekalovsky Architecture was as much a partnership as we could have hoped for. They led us through plans and ideas that not only met our vision but improved upon them. Their ability to work with construction managers, contractors and various town departments saved time and money that was dearly needed.

Carolyn Carey
Director, Harwich Community Center Unobtrusive and timeless, structural elements and the design work seamlessly and blend well, providing both contrast and connection so that together they form a unified, useable and amazing space. In short, Vcevy built the Community within the Harwich Community Center. I submit my highest recommendation. Vcevy’s work is mature, timeless and treasured. He is amazing with his construction management and collaborative skills and beyond a pleasure to work with.
Vcevy worked well with our building committee and the contractor, which resulted in an attractive building that fully met our needs. The new sanctuary that he designed is very beautiful.
