New Administrative Building location
The Springfield Public Schools district offices will soon be moving to their new space at 640 A Street in Springfield, just north of City Hall. As previously reported, the district’s Administration Building, located at 525 Mill Street, was declared “seismically unsound” in a 2015 engineer’s report. After considering a number of options, the district determined that renovating a different building was more cost-effective than either bringing the existing building up to code or building a new structure.
