The school's 1999 restoration by Bassetti Architects included the revitalization of the 1906 historic building and the educational program.
The 1917 brick wing was demolished, with the approval of the City Landmarks Commission.
An addition to the historic building recalls the massing, colors and details of the original and exterior paths reinforce connections to the neighborhood.
Classrooms are clustered around areas for small group and project-based learning that encourage interaction between the diverse and multi-lingual student population and operable walls between classrooms allow for team teaching and larger class spaces that can be set up in non-traditional ways.
