Here's The February Construction Update For Central Middle School

GREENWICH, CT — Greenwich Public Schools last week issued its February update on construction at the new Central Middle School.

The new 125,000 gross 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 January:

• Continued exterior wall façade installations throughout.
• Substantially completed interior framing and in-wall rough-ins throughout the building.
• Began painting second-floor classroom spaces.
• Began ceiling installations in classroom spaces.
• Continued work in the utility corridor.
• Continued exterior storm infrastructure work.
• Continued drywall and taping on the first floor.
• Continued high-ceiling auditorium fit-out.

Here's a look at work expected to take place in January:

• Continue drywall and taping on the first floor.
• Begin painting and ceiling installations on the first floor.
• Begin flooring and finishes in second-floor classroom spaces.
• Continue exterior wall façade installation throughout
• Continue utility corridor and underground utility infrastructure work.
• Continue auditorium and gym fit-out.
