Ground Breaking Ceremony

Four years of fundraising. Four years of planning. Four years of hoping. And now we get to build.

Springbrook’s $22 million expansion and renovation will create a specialized Autism School within the School at Springbrook for 36 children with moderate to severe autism – 24 of them new students -- while also improving services to Springbrook’s current students, families and staff.  The existing school building and campus will undergo extensive renovations – including construction of a six-classroom autism wing, new kitchen/cafeteria and gymnasium, three duplex-style houses and renovations to the campus infrastructure.

The project, which is projected to save the state $890,000 a year, also brings many economic benefits to central New York.  In addition to construction jobs for local companies during the 20-month building period, Springbrook will ultimately create 112 full-time, permanent jobs in the education, health and social services sectors and add $5 million annually into the region’s economy.

Join Springbrook’s students, families, staff and Trustees at the groundbreaking ceremony for the Tom Golisano School at Springbrook on Thursday, July 29th at 12:30pm.

Celebrate with us as we start construction and begin a new era.
