The project a 19,500 SF facility was part of City of New York DDC design initiatives. The materials:  flash concrete, low VOC paint, bamboo for cabinetry, recycled carpet, rubber, linoleum flooring, and acoustical ceiling panels made from wood fiber and biodegradable fabrics were part of the green initiative. Energy modeling was required to test whether the performance criteria were met.

The plan of the building allows natural light to reach the classrooms through a glazed interior light well and light shelves that enhance daylighting in the classrooms.  Play areas are provided at both the front and on the roof.
