The Larkin, formerly known as Larkin Cottage, is a versatile new facility located on the campus of Essex North Shore Agricultural & Technical School. Designed to support the school’s Culinary Arts and Hospitality programs, the building includes a commercial kitchen, event space, and function hall, providing students with a location to practice real-world experience in dining and event services for the school community and general public. The project was a unique collaborative effort that engaged the broader school community. Students in construction-focused programs contributed significantly to the building process, gaining hands-on experience in carpentry, plumbing, electrical work, and other trades as part of their technical education.
