WEST HAVEN, Conn. (PRWEB) October 11, 2018 -- Gilbane Building Company celebrated a major milestone today on the West Haven High School project in West Haven, Connecticut. The topping off ceremony for phase one of this long-anticipated high school renovation was attended by City officials, Superintendent Neil Cavallaro and other school administration, the West Haven School Building Committee, as well as project team members from Gilbane Building Company, project Architect Antinozzi Associates and the Capitol Region Education Council.
“We are pleased to be on schedule for this multi-phased project,” states Amar Shamas, senior project executive with Gilbane. “Our approach incorporates a unique design with cutting-edge construction methods, all while balancing costs and, most importantly, ensuring the safety of the students, staff, neighbors and the surrounding community throughout the course of the project.”

The first phase includes construction of a cafeteria, full-service kitchen, culinary arts, building services, tech-ed shops, media center, auditorium, music and arts classrooms and administrative offices. The second phase includes the new gymnasium and locker rooms, new science classrooms addition and the renovation of the three-story building after demolishing the existing cafeteria and media center. The third phase includes demolishing the existing auditorium and music spaces, renovating the northern wing of academic spaces and demolishing the existing gym and southern academic building. Construction commenced in July 2017, which included enabling work. The project is expected to complete in the spring of 2022.
