The City of Stamford and Stamford Public Schools have been awarded a grant in 2024 by the State of Connecticut to transform the site. The new school will include a kindergarten through fourth grade community school. Currently the site for Lockwood Avenue Lower School is occupied by CLC Learning Centers. The new design will become a community school with afterhours community access to media center resources in future partnership with the Ferguson Library. It will include kindergarten through fourth grade.   

Gluck+ Architecture was selected in 2025 through a competitive process to design the school and are currently completing Schematic Design.

“The capital improvements to Stamford’s public schools will provide students and teachers with modern and safe facilities that will enhance the learning experience for everyone. The Long-Term Facilities Plan will allow the school district to properly evolve its facilities to support each student as they go from kindergarten through 12th grade.”
— Leah Kagan, Director of Economic Development, City of Stamford
