The town of Mansfield, Conn., broke ground last week on the state’s first net-zero elementary school. Local politicians, town administrators, parents and students attended the ceremony on Thursday, June 25. The new school, which has yet to be named, will replace the town’s three existing elementary schools.
“Mansfield will go from three elementary schools and one middle school, to one elementary school and a middle school,” said Mansfield Town Manager Ryan Aylesworth.
The school’s construction was a decade in the making, according to Aylesworth, following needs assessments, studies, and discussions with administrators. Funding was approved through a referendum held in Nov. 2020, allocating up to $50.5 million for the project. In April 2021, the Mansfield School Building Project Committee approved a bid by Newfield Construction Group LLC in Hartford, Conn., of about $36.4 million. The school is scheduled to open in time for the fall 2022 semester.
