Old Greenwich school Renovation Update

The long-awaited renovation of Old Greenwich School has begun! During the April break fencing was installed fencing around the back of the school and Phase 1A of the project has commenced! This includes the construction of a new kindergarten addition and playground. As safety is paramount, please stay away from all construction fences.

Please be advised that the OGS playground will not be available from April 2026 until the fall. The school administration will make alternative arrangements for students during the remainder of the school year. The building committee is aiming to have the new playground in place by the start of the school year. The new addition is expected to be completed in summer 2027.

Renovations inside the school will commence this summer, starting with the gymnasium, cafeteria, music & art rooms, and installation of a new elevator. We’ll share more detail as we get closer to that phase. Subsequent renovation phases will continue to work around the building, with clear separation of construction activities from students. All 6 phases of the project are expected to be completed by January 2029.

If you would like to learn more, please visit the OGS Building Committee’s website, which contains detailed information on all work done to date, the construction phasing plan, safety measures, FAQs, and ways to contact the committee for further information. The website will be regularly updated through the construction period and the building committee is planning on providing monthly updates.
