Still crazy to me that we are building schools without added residential tower on top of them.
Seems like a huge missed opportunity with our current housing crisis.
UGG! the school looks like a prison!
The standards for school designs are very low.
How they used to look like
How they could look like
The converted school that became MoMA PS1 is less than a mile away from this. Glad it lives on just for a neighborhood comparison of how far we’ve fallen.
Wow! It’s as nice as several new parks in Manhattan and Brooklyn! Good job, Queens <3
I’m pretty sure the red schoolhouse there was where all the people who were displaced from MetroTech construction during the '90s ended up.
what’s the second phase of this project? is it the vacant lots next to it?
It’s just one of the three towers. I think phase 1 of the 2-phase project just officially wrapped, the southernmost tower. I wouldnt be surprised if the other two towers of phase 2 also officially announce completion in the coming days/weeks
