Elementary school students in Newtown will return to a new building next month, and on Friday, media were allowed to tour the facility.
The entirely-new building has improved security: a gated entrance, bulletproof windows, and lots of cameras. Architect and project manager Julia McFadden said the hope was to have those security features blend into an environment that’s anything but threatening. “What you’ll see in the design of the school is a real sense of opening up to nature and really showcasing nature,” she said.
