Bulkeley High School at 300 Wethersfield Ave. was quiet Friday morning. Surrounded by tall fences and appearing abandoned, you’d never guess it was in the midst of a complete remodel. School officials say the project is running behind schedule and over budget. Construction on Bulkeley High School is set to cost $61 million more and take a year longer than anticipated due to COVID-19, supply change issues and inflation. The project, which began in 2020 and was expected to cost $149 million and re-open in fall of 2024, will now cost over $210 million and re-open in 2025. The construction on the central office building also cost more than expected, according to Drummey. The estimate for the construction was $29,750,000, but now is projected to cost almost $35 million. Drummey said he is remaining confident the project will not be delayed again and that central office and Bulkeley will be occupied in 2025.
