Amenta Emma team members attended the groundbreaking ceremony at the site of the new Westhill High School in Stamford, CT, on Tuesday, June 2.
Likely the largest Connecticut school construction project to date, the approximately $446 million project is expected to be completed in 2029. Construction will be done in phases so the current school can remain operational.
At 450,000 square feet, the school has been designed to accommodate up to 2,458 students, and will feature nearly 100 classrooms, including general education, science, special education, and specialized learning spaces designed to support the school’s many career pathway programs. There will also be a state-of-the-art indoor pool facility and a performing arts center. The new building is expected to meet or surpass LEED Silver Certification goals
“This investment is not just in a brand new, beautiful building. This is an investment in our students’ future, an investment in our teachers, an investment in our families, and an investment in our city’s future,” Mayor Caroline Simmons said, thanking those who helped bring the project to fruition.
Over 50 professionals across architecture, engineering, construction, and project management fields are involved in the project, including SLAM Collaborative, Amenta Emma, Colliers Project Leaders, and a joint venture between The Dimeo Construction Company and Bismark Construction Company.
