Here's The Latest Central Middle School Construction Update

GREENWICH, CT — Greenwich Public Schools released its latest construction update for Central Middle School this week, and the new building appears to be coming together.

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 December:

• Completed exterior AVB (air and vapor barrier) systems
• Continued site utilities and utility corridor work
• Continued exterior façade installations throughout
• Continued above-ceiling MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) installations at the lower level
• Completed drywall at 2nd floor classroom spaces
• Started drywall taping and prime painting in 2nd floor classroom spaces
• Started above-ceiling and classroom finishes
