Central Middle School Continues To Progress, Latest Update Details

GREENWICH, CT — The new Central Middle School continues to progress, as the building is taking shape both inside and out.

Greenwich Public Schools issued its March update for the project this week, which also looks ahead at work planned for the next month.

The new 125,000-square-foot building is being constructed just north of the current school.

The existing school will continue to function until the new structure is complete and receives a final certificate of occupancy.

If all goes according to plan, the new $112 million CMS could open before the start of the 2026-2027 school year.

Here's work that was completed in February, according to GPS:

• Continued first-floor drywall and taping.
• Began first-floor painting and ceiling installation and second-floor classroom flooring and finishes.
• Continued exterior façade installation, utility corridor and underground infrastructure work, and auditorium and gym fit-out.
