New Project: PS 508Q

We were selected by the NYC School Construction authority for the development of a stand-alone new building for PS 508Q in Long Island City, Queens. Currently in the design phase, the proposed new building, within the Special Long Island City Mixed-Use District, will house a Pre-K through 5th Grade school and a city-wide district 75 special education program. Inspired by the adjacent elevated MTA tracks and spectacular views toward the historic Silvercup Studios sign, the roof top play area faces northward along with the instructional classrooms. To the south of the site, a 67-story mixed-use residential building is under construction, so sun and shadow studies are being conducted to mitigate the impact of the multi-story building. Follow along for design progression on this challenging and exciting project!
