The Planning & Zoning Commission approved major renovations at Old Greenwich School at its meeting Tuesday, voting unanimously to approve plans to construct an 8,000 square-foot addition with four new classrooms, a new main entrance, improved handicap access and additional recreation space. The construction work is estimated to be in the $43 million range, and work is expected to start next year. Financing and budgeting the project has been a source of debate and deliberations for over two years. The last major renovation at the school was undertaken in 1996. The construction work will remove five trees from the site, but they will be replaced with new plantings. Once completed, the campus will have six new shade trees, seven ornamental trees and approximately 170 shrubs. The site will also have around 7,000 square feet of ground cover planted. Improvements to prevent flooding, including a redesigned plaza to move water away from the building toward a drainage system, are in store.
