Renovations on three Darien elementary schools have been delayed a month for additional work and updated costs, sparking some concern for funding and timing for the upcoming school year. Originally slated to start construction in mid-July, renovations on Hindley, Holmes and Royle elementary schools are now set to begin in mid-August, though work is still expected to finish on schedule in summer 2024. The renovations feature a $68 million overhaul of all three schools including removing all portable classrooms for new building wings, new libraries and common spaces and updated classrooms. Construction company O&G Industries, working closely with the design firm, recommended an additional review to include items not part of the earlier documents such as radon design and soil testing and expand on design specifics for connecting existing buildings to the new wings.
