PS 303
PROJECT DETAILS
This 82,000-square-foot project consisted of a new addition and renovation to the existing PS 303 school building. This project was completed in three phases. Phase one saw the construction of the new building addition, phase two included the new link which connects the new addition building to the existing building, and phase three consisted of renovations to the existing building.
This project included classrooms, a new gymatorium for multi-purpose activities, a new cafeteria and special classrooms for art, music and science. The gymatorium, lobby and cafeteria are all double-height spaces, allowing natural light penetration from the exterior and opportunities to see through multiple levels of the building simultaneously. The project features black and white brick to contrast with the existing building, terracotta rainscreen, and a simple glazed link structure that connects the new addition and exiting building.
This small elementary school focuses on the Arts and ranges from Kindergarten to 3rd grade.
This school was voted the City’s Most Coveted Public Elementary School.
