The plan to build a dual campus for elementary and middle school students on Stamford’s East Side is still in the works, but the project has been delayed by a year. Matthew Quinones, the city’s director of operations, said the plan to build two schools a mile apart — a K-4 facility at 83 Lockwood Ave. and a new 5-8 school at the current site of K.T. Murphy Elementary School on Horton Street — was moved forward a year due to delays to the demolition and construction of a new Roxbury School. The total price tag for the two new schools is $158.34 million, with 60% of eligible costs being covered by the state. An architect, New York-based Gluck+, has already been selected for the two projects and design of the new schools will take roughly 18 months to complete, Quinones said. Construction is expected to last two years, with the K-4 facility opening for the 2029-30 school year. The K.T. Murphy building would then be torn down, and a new school servicing students in grades 5-8 would be constructed, with an expected opening in the fall of 2031.
