Here's Where Construction Currently Stands At Central Middle School

GREEWICH, CT — With the calendar flipped to October, Greenwich Public Schools on Wednesday issued an update on where construction currently stands at Central Middle School, and what kind of work is on tap over the next few weeks.

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 September:

• Substantially completed steel structure and detailing
• Continued exterior envelope framing and sheathing
• Continued installation of roof systems
• Started interior framing and MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) rough at the 2nd
• floor
• Continued SOG (slab on grade) placement at the lower level
• Installed storm and sanitary utilities in the site
• Continued underground MEP installations at lower level

Here's a look at work upcoming in October:

• Continue exterior envelope at lower level
• Install exterior AVB (air and vapor barrier) and windows
• Substantially complete roofing systems
• Continue Interior framing and MEP rough throughout
• Perform site utility installations at “utility corridor”
• Substantially complete SOG placement at the lower level
• Substantially complete underground MEP installations at lower level

The project has also received temporary exemptions to the town’s noise ordinance, permitting
Saturday morning work and holiday activity when necessary. These exemptions are submitted
monthly when needed, the school district said.
