Nonnewaug High School Renovation Project

Welcome to the Nonnewaug High School Renovation Project website. This website provides information about the proposed project, including plans, renderings, and answers to frequently asked questions.

The voters in Bethlehem and Woodbury in 2013 approved a $63.8 million renovation plan for Nonnewaug High School to bring the building up to standards to meet the needs of a modern high school school program. The site designs and plans for infrastructure improvements will transform Nonnewaug High School into a state-of-the-art 21st century school facility by 2020.

The project is being overseen by the Region 14 Building Committee, comprised of Board of Education members, school administrators, parents and leaders of the towns of Bethlehem and Woodbury. They are working alongside consultants from the S/L/A/M Collaborative and Colliers who are managing the design, approval and construction process.

The renovation project is designed to allow teaching and learning to go on concurrently and virtually undisturbed at Nonnewaug High School while construction is in process over the next three years.Region 14 taxpayers are sharing the cost of the project with the state and will be responsible for approximately $38.7 million. The State of Connecticut’s maximum reimbursement of the remaining $25 million is based on eligible costs for the overall project that was approved by voters in 2013, subject to final State audit.The project is classified as a “renovation” and the state requires 100% of the 145,000 square-foot NHS building footprint be addressed in some form in the plan.
