Somerville's Winter Hill School Closed for Year, Classes Moved After Concrete Falls

Students at Winter Hill Community Innovation School in Somerville will attend classes in alternative locations for the rest of the school year.
A piece of non-structural concrete fell in the north stairwell of the school building.
The school's program for students with autism will move to the first floor of the Edgerly Building, the prekindergarten and kindergarten programs will move to the Capuano Early Childhood Center, and grades 1 through 8 will move to Tufts University’s Olin Hall.
Although investigations found no issues with the structural integrity of the building, engineers will conduct further testing.
The school has faced infrastructure problems in the past, and parents are calling for a replacement school to be built.
