Brunswick School’s presence in Greenwich is not defined by a single campus.
Over time, the school has expanded across several properties, shaping a network of academic buildings, athletic fields, and student spaces that together support daily life at Brunswick. What once operated on a single site has gradually evolved into a series of connected campuses.
Helping those places function as a coherent whole has required careful planning and continuity over many years. Throughout that evolution, Redniss & Mead has served as Brunswick’s civil engineer and surveyor, supporting the school as new facilities are added, campuses are adapted, and infrastructure expands to support changing needs.
One moment in that growth captures the story particularly well.
When Brunswick acquired property across King Street to expand its programs, the opportunity was clear. The challenge was equally obvious. The new campus and the long established Edwards Campus would be separated by a busy roadway.
The solution was not simply to add crosswalks or adjust circulation. Instead, the campuses were connected underground.
A pedestrian tunnel beneath King Street now allows students and faculty to move safely between the Edwards and Tudor campuses throughout the school day. Creating that connection required careful grading coordination, roadway interface approvals, and precise alignment between two properties with different elevations and existing infrastructure systems.
What might otherwise have been two separate campuses now function as one continuous school day.
Today, the tunnel operates quietly in the background, but it is the piece that allows the school’s campuses to function together.
As Brunswick has continued to grow, improvements have extended across the school’s other properties as well. The Edwards Campus along King Street remains the center of lower school life and athletics. The Tudor Campus now supports upper middle school programs and additional athletic facilities. Downtown, the Maher and Maple Avenue campuses continues to serve the high school, where improvements have strengthened connections between buildings and improved accessibility.
Another nearby property along Lake Avenue has been adapted to support early education programs and faculty housing, reflecting how the school continues to evolve its facilities as programs change.
Athletics remain central to Brunswick’s campus life, and the school has invested steadily in facilities that support student programs. Over time this has included new athletic fields, improvements to baseball facilities, cross country running paths across campus terrain, and an alumni pavilion overlooking football games.

Most recently, construction has begun on a new indoor practice facility that will allow year round training for multiple sports. The structure will house a 60-yard indoor field and incorporate a large sliding hangar door that opens to connect with the remaining covered field to create a full regulation field when weather allows. Designing the facility required careful navigation of Greenwich zoning limitations, including floor area restrictions that prevent full enclosure of certain athletic structures.
Many of these projects move forward quickly. Brunswick’s development is often driven by donor support and program priorities, which can create compressed timelines for design and permitting. In one instance, the project team assembled four separate applications and complete drawing sets within eight weeks in order to meet submission deadlines.
Because Redniss & Mead has worked across Brunswick’s campuses for many years, each new effort begins with a detailed understanding of the site’s infrastructure, drainage systems, and environmental constraints. That familiarity allows projects to move forward quickly while maintaining technical clarity.
Brunswick’s campuses will continue to evolve as the school grows. Across multiple properties and many years of work, engineering has helped ensure that each new investment fits within the broader campus network and within the physical realities of its Greenwich setting.
