A.P. Construction Company (APC) is pleased to announce that it has been awarded and broke ground for the new construction and renovation project for the Boys & Girls Club of Greenwich to expand and enhance its facility in Greenwich, CT.
Governor Lamont and other officials were in attendance for the groundbreaking ceremony held on October 23rd. The clubhouse was built in the 1930s and this is the club’s first major renovation project in nearly 20 years.
The $22 million, 88,000-square-foot renovation and expansion includes a new gymnasium, upgraded teen center, additional instructional space, and an outdoor amphitheater; all built over the club’s existing outdoor parking lot. Additional upgrades to the club’s infrastructure will be made including plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and information technology systems. The facility will perform, as a whole, in a significantly more sustainable and efficient manner, utilizing an electric system for heating and cooling. The club also plans to add a new secure vestibule to ensure that members continue to be safe and comfortable during their time at the clubhouse.
