A charter school for grades 9-10 consisting of 59,000 sf of ground-up new construction. The building is 6-stories and, in addition to numerous classrooms, contains a media center, an indoor gymnasium with a regulation high-school basketball court, large rooftop recreation space, a cafeteria, teacher’s lounges and spacious terrace. The façade is clad in an insulated metal panel rainscreen of school colors. The school building will transform the existing underutilized corner lot, and will be an exciting addition to the neighborhood. The project has recently received design approval, and construction is underway.
