Norwalk High School State Project

The Work includes construction as indicated on the construction documents. The proposed project is located at 23 Calvin Murphy Drive, Norwalk, Connecticut. The project will consist of a complete demolition of the existing building and the building of a new high school. The new High School is approx. 350,000 sf, consisting of multiple stories. General education classrooms, science rooms, computer science, administrative offices, culinary arts, auditorium, gymnasium, auxiliary gymnasium, natatorium, offices, and supporting lockers and team rooms. Supporting spaces consist of mechanical, electrical, fire protection, and IT rooms; cafeteria, servery and kitchen; building storage and receiving. The structure is composed of concrete footings with aggregate piers and foundation walls, steel columns. The main level floors consist of concrete slabs and upper story floors are structural elevated slabs on metal decking. Exterior storefront windows and curtain wall systems will utilize insulated glazing with thermally broken aluminum frames. The interior wall construction will be a combination of steel stud wall framing with gypsum board and masonry block. Ceilings are mostly suspended acoustical ceiling tile systems. The site will be reconfigured to locate the new school where the existing synthetic turf field is, south of the existing main parking lot. Overall, the new site plan will provide a total of 436 spaces. The existing school will be occupied throughout construction during the regular school year. Construction is scheduled to start around March 2024 and the new high school building is scheduled to be occupied for the school year 2027-2028.
