The City of Stamford and Stamford Public Schools has engaged with a consultant team at S/L/A/M Architects to prepare a grant application to the State of Connecticut which includes an architectural Feasibility Study, and a Board of Education approved an Educational Specification. 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.
The State will communicate to the City if the project has been awarded priority-list reimbursement status in December 2023. Funding for the project will become available the following June 2024. Lockwood Avenue is planned for occupancy school year 2028.
“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.”
