Many Greenwich residents oppose teardown and rebuild of Old Greenwich School, prefer $42M renovation

The proposal to renovate the school and make it handicap accessible was reviewed at the Planning & Zoning Commission’s Tuesday meeting, where the upgrades and preservation of the 1902 structure were endorsed by a number of community members. The expected cost of the renovations is in the $42 million range. The Board of Estimate and Taxation in June rejected an appropriation for the renovations, in a split vote, but the committee working on the project has been moving ahead and submitted the proposal to the Planning & Zoning Commission for approvals. A consultant working on the design, David Stein, walked the commission through the plans, which include a new entrance, a new elevator, an addition with four new classrooms to relocate learning space lost to interior renovations, and other upgrades. The enrollment at the school is around 400 students.
