IS-004, a new four-story middle school located in southern Brooklyn, has entered an exciting phase: steel erection! This crucial step marks a significant milestone in the construction of this educational facility.
This new building, under the auspice of the NYC School Construction Authority, will have multiple unique features, such as modern terracotta rain-screen panels, a glass storefront on its western face, a green roof coupled with vegetation & solar panels, and will run 100% on electricity. The school spans a 14,000 square foot building footprint and a 21,000 square foot site footprint - designed to accommodate a variety of educational and recreational needs.
Key components of the new school will include a gymnasium, cafeteria, and specialized District 75 classrooms on the first two floors, catering to diverse student requirements. The foundation will be reinforced with concrete footings and soil anchors embedded up to 60 feet deep, ensuring a strong and stable base as construction continues.
As we move forward, our focus remains on completing this new innovative school safely, with the highest quality, and on time. We can't wait to see the project continue to take shape!
