New Lebanon School On Time and On Budget

Greenwich Schools released an update on the progress of New Lebanon School, an intra-district International Baccalaureate magnet school will serve students in grades PreK-5.

According to chair of the building committee Steve Walko, the project remains on-time and on-budget.

The temporary certificate of occupancy date remains December 24, 2018, with a projected move-in date of February 19, 2019, which is the first day after winter break.

The centrally located learning commons, equipped with flexible furnishings and adaptable technological infrastructure, allows for multiple zones of simultaneous learning.

The building is designed to meet the sustainability goals established by the Educational Specifications and to achieve a gold-level LEED rating from US Green Building Council.
