The brick facade of the 1917 high school at 100 State St has seen more than a century of students, but this week it faces a routine check that keeps the building safe for another year.
City records confirm an annual inspection was filed on August 28, 2025 for the historic campus, which remains owned by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. This mandatory review ensures the structure continues to meet current safety and building codes, a standard requirement for all public school facilities in Framingham.
The filing, designated as FIRA-25-37, does not list a specific applicant, as these inspections are typically initiated by the school district or city officials rather than external developers. While the permit description remains brief, the filing triggers a comprehensive review of the building's systems, from fire safety to structural integrity.
This action is part of a broader pattern of maintenance activity at the site. The address has accumulated over 2,540 historical records, reflecting decades of upgrades and repairs. In just the past 30 days, the 01702 zip code saw 218 permit filings, including a recent electrical permit at the same school address, suggesting ongoing work to modernize the campus infrastructure.
