Site work, paving and new construction of a mixed-use development in Cheshire, Connecticut. Completed plans call for the construction of a 115,000-square-foot, two-story above grade educational facility; for site work for a educational facility; and for paving for a educational facility.

This project consists of the construction of the New North End Elementary School located in Cheshire, Connecticut. This new two-story steel-framed Pre-K to 6th Grade elementary school totals approximately 115,000 SF. The majority of site grading to construct the new building pad was performed during the Phase 1 Site Enabling effort. Also, the major electrical equipment, i.e. switchgear, panelboards and emergency generator & ATS, has been prepurchased, to be installed during this Phase 2. Major sitework includes completion of the new building pad, construction of a geothermal well field, new drives and parking lots, playgrounds and new utility services (electric and water). Construction is scheduled to commence late December 2024 with completion of the new school and all sitework in Summer 2026. Bidders should note that a second new elementary school project located in Cheshire, the New Norton Elementary School, will also be bidding and will be constructed simultaneously with this new North End Elementary School.
