NEW LONDON, CT — A groundbreaking was recently held to kick off the Consolidated Early Learning Academy project in New Fairfield, Connecticut. This project consists of the construction of approximately 41,000 square feet of building addition to an existing elementary school building as well as limited renovations and upgrades to corridors, vestibules, and teaching spaces in the existing building.

The new addition is built adjacent to the existing building with several areas proving connecting access. The project also includes both new and replacement sitework and exterior features. Major sitework consists of all new underground utility work, pavements and drives, and the construction play areas. The existing school building and exterior areas outside of construction fencing will be occupied by students and staff during the construction period.

O&G Building Group is the construction manager, JCJ Architecture is the project architect, and Colliers International is the owner’s project manager. The project is expected to be completed in fall of 2022 and will meet the State of Connecticut High-Performance Building Standards.

O&G is known for their road and bridge construction projects; materials division that supplies asphalt, concrete, and aggregates to projects throughout the region; building construction services for commercial projects throughout the Northeast; and masonry products line of business that operates eight retail locations in Connecticut.
