Ox Ridge Elementary School in Darien, Connecticut, has been transformed through a $63 million renovation project, creating a revitalized learning environment for over 500 students. The first phase of the project, completed for the 2022 academic year, introduced the new Academic Wing, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows for natural light and a central courtyard that serves as both a green space and an outdoor amphitheater. The recently completed Assembly Wing, opened for the 2023 calendar year, features a cafeteria, gym, music suite, new playground, ample parking, and a ballfield. Security glazing throughout the building and North American Bulletproof components reinforce entrance security measures, ensuring student and staff safety. The school’s new facilities will undoubtedly play a significant role in fostering academic growth and community among students, staff, and families.
