Site work and new construction of a mixed-use development in Glastonbury, Connecticut. Completed plans call for the construction of a educational facility; and for site work for a educational facility.

Silver/Petrucelli & Associates (SP+A) was retained to provide an architectural and engineering study for Glastonbury High School, evaluating the feasibility of constructing a new, 3,000 square foot weight training facility. The new weight training facility is intended to be a stand-alone structure, constructed in the location of the existing high school practice field, adjacent to the tennis courts and across the parking lot from the field house. The location of the proposed facility was purposeful due to the proximity to existing gas, water, and electric utilities, in an effort to limit site development costs. In order to create a campus feel and maintain standards for the Town and the School District of Glastonbury, it is proposed to construct the new weight facility in a style and with materials consistent with the new field house. As part of this study, SP+A reviewed existing construction documents of the field house. Additionally, SP+A retained the services of a geotechnical engineer to examine the existing soil conditions in the anticipated area of new construction. Down to Earth, Consulting LLC, was retained to perform site borings and the analysis said borings. To summarize the geotechnical findings, the results were positive, with the majority of borings indicating 24-48” depth of topsoil and fill. One boring at the southwest corner of the proposed building footprint indicated deeper depths of fill. While this is not a significant concern for the proposed facility, the variation in fill depth would be concerning if the location of the weight facility were to change. In the event that the location or size of the facility were to be significantly altered, SP+A recommends that additional soil investigations take place to confirm the viability of the new or expanded site. As stated previously, this is not recommended as the costs for site development and extension of site utilities, would increase exponentially As of August 26, 2025, this project has been completed.
