This K-8 school on the Queens College campus occupies a narrow stretch of land between an existing athletic facility and Reeves Avenue, resulting in a single-loaded organization that provides ample light to classrooms and corridors alike. It houses a citywide special education cluster along with classrooms, art room, library, dance & music room, and science labs. The wing which encloses the cafeteria, auditorium, and gymnasium all have direct access and views to the shared open spaces of the adjacent Queens College. The building uses exposed architectural concrete throughout, earning industry awards at the time of its completion.
