Community Checks Out New Bristol Twp. Middle School

Members of the community had a chance to check out the recently-opened Ben Franklin Middle School in Bristol Township Saturday morning.

School board members and administrators gathered in the auditorium to cut the ceremonial ribbon on the Mill Creek Road school that opened last month.

The new middle school replaces Franklin D. Roosevelt Middle School that underwent a $53.9 million upgrade and expansion of the building.

Prior to be used at the district’s newest middle school, the building serves as a school in the past and more recently as the administrative offices.

The renovation added 20 new classrooms to the building that totals 156,000 square feet.

The building features STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics) areas and also learning stairs, collaborative, large group instruction spaces for each grade, computer labs, a media center, and art rooms. There is a gated vestibule at the entrance, security cameras, and card access to keep the building safe.
