Glenville opens its doors for a tourBy Colin "BOE Brown Nose" Gustafson
Purely by the numbers, the newly rebuilt Glenville School isn't that different from the recently razed schoolhouse it replaces. Measuring 56,000 square feet, or roughly the size of a football field, the new, single-story schoolhouse is about the same size, in the same footprint, as the old building......
.....The tour was attended by several dozen parents, town lawmakers and school officials, including schools Superintendent Sidney Freund, First Selectman Peter Tesei, Finance Board Chairman Steven Walko......
......The new school, built for more than $24 million, is expected to be ready for occupancy by the end of September, paving the way for students to start class there as early as the end of November ......
.....Glenville mother Donna Curtis was more impressed with another feature: Each of the school's 20 new classrooms all measure roughly the same size -- a welcome change from the hodgepodge of different-sized instructional spaces at the old school, she said......
.....If the rest of the project goes according to plan, the building could be completed both under budget and slightly ahead of schedule, said Frank Mazza, chairman of the school's building committee. Roughly $180,000, out of an initial $2 million, remain uncommitted in the project's contingency fund for unforeseen expenses, Mazza said.......
