Welcome to the Wilmington Town Hall / School Administration Project Page!

The Glen Road School was first approved by Town Meeting in November 1957. Town Meeting voted to build a 15 room elementary school for $800,000. Committees were developed to facilitate this project. In 1958, the scope of the design decided on a 12 room elementary school, at more than half the cost of the original.  The school opened in 1959 to fan fair!

The desire for a new Town Hall in the Town of Wilmington is not a new sentiment. Advocacy for a new Town Hall dates back as far as the 1960’s. The topic of a new Town Hall was revisited in 1983 when it was stated at a Special Town Meeting that plans had begun to move Town Offices to the Glen Road School from the old Baptist Church. Renovations took place in 1983/1984 and the renovated Glen Road School started its new life as home to the Wilmington Town Offices, where town operations continue to reside. 

In 2018, the Town of Wilmington hired the Harriman Group to conduct a review of the Town’s Municipal and Education facilities and develop a Facilities Master Plan (here). The Facilities Master Plan identified physical deficiencies of the current Town Hall building that prevent the staff from serving the community to the best of their desire and ability. These deficiencies include original electrical, HVAC, and plumbing systems that are well passed their intended lifespan and outdated emergency services including no overhead sprinkler system. In addition, the physical space is not large enough to properly accommodate the needs of the 11 departments housed in the Town Hall. The Facilities Master Plan also assessed the condition of the School Administration Building. This assessment found that the existing space is not large enough to accommodate the full needs of the School Administration staff, estimating it needs a space three times larger than the space it currently occupies at Roman House.
