FORM SCG-3501

State Project No.:______

School Name:______

Local Education Agency:______

A school construction project can attain renovation status if the project meets:

  • The criteria defining a “Renovation” project pursuant to CGS Section 10-282 (18)
  • The Guidelines for Eligibility of Renovation Status
  • The cost savings criteria pursuant to CGS Section 10-286 (a) (8)

Project cost savings can be determined when:

  • Prior to final plan approval, an independent licensed architect provides documentation that renovating the facility will cost less than building new
  • The total cost of the renovation project is less than a maximum cost of $450 per square foot, multiplied by the SpaceStandard for the proposed school construction project
  • The maximum square footage allowance per pupil for all grades is defined under the Regulations of the School Construction Grant Program, Section 10-287c-15

A project may qualify for renovation status when the district:

  • Can provide documentation that renovating the facility will still cost less than building new, even if costs exceed a maximum of $450 per square foot, multiplied by the SpaceStandard
  • Acknowledges in writing that any costs in excess of the base standard maximum cost of $450 a square foot are ineligible for reimbursement

A project may lose renovation status if:

  • Project costs increase to the point where the cost to renovate exceeds the cost to build new, pursuant to CGS Section 10-286 (a) (8)

In determining construction costs for renovation vs. new construction, include:

  • Site acquisition costs
  • Demolition costs
  • Swing space costs
  • Remediation costs associated with renovation of the existing facility
  • Costs associated with constructing a new facility
