Renovations at Hartford high school cause uproar as student body divided among campuses

While construction was projected to be completed in 2023, the new building is now not set to open until the 2025-26 school year, and in the interim, students say they are suffering. The construction is entering its seventh phase this week which involves site work, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, concrete and interior finishes, according to a spokesperson for the city. Once phase seven is complete, the facilities will be ready for furniture. At a May 15 School Building Committee meeting, the committee approved partial phase seven trade contracts for $108,168,404. The construction is part of a district-wide effort to upgrade schools with state-of-the-art facilities, according to district spokesperson Jesse Sugarman. The decision to split into two campuses was based on availability, according to Sugarman. The two buildings are both former Hartford Schools buildings that were vacated.
