By 2027, the current school will be demolished and in its place, there will be new athletic fields, said Leigh Appleby, director of communications for the Connecticut Department of Administrative Services. The new Bullard-Havens building will be large enough to serve about 900 ninth through 12th graders and will offer the school’s 13 trades, including culinary arts, health technology, carpentry, electrical, graphic design and more. The over 200,000-square-foot facility will include traditional classrooms, a gymnasium that can seat the entire student population, a field house, a fitness center and more, according to a 2023 announcement. The $199 million project is completely state funded, Appleby said. A ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new facility is scheduled for November.
