Wearing neon vests, safety glasses and hard hats, seventh-graders trekked through the future Groton Middle School on Wednesday to take their first look at what will be their new school.
At the construction site adjacent to Robert E. Fitch High School, workers were busy offloading materials into the building, pouring concrete and installing plumbing, electrical and mechanical components for the consolidated middle school slated to be completed by the end of June.
Project managers, along with school officials, guided about 30 West Side STEM Magnet Middle School students on a tour.
