STAMFORD — After lengthy delays, plans for a new Roxbury School building and the demolition of the old school are moving forward. The Stamford Planning Board reviewed and approved plans for the new school construction, as part of the process to acquire state funding. The Stamford school administration is going to a bid-authorization meeting with state officials in coming weeks, and approval from the city Planning Board is required. The board affirmed the project meets the goals of the city’s comprehensive plan. Kelly Nelli, a senior project manager working on the school replacement project with the Arcadis construction group, told the board that the preliminary work would begin in July of 2026. The first phase of the project would be the construction of geothermal wells at the site. Nelli said portions of the old building on West Hill Road, including some portable structures and four classrooms in the rear of current building, would have to be demolished before work on the new structure could commence. The demolition, part of the preliminary phase, is required to allow access to the building site of the planned new structure. Major construction would commence in November of 2026, Nelli told the board, and wrap up in 2028.
