Colegio concertado Achievement First Endeavor

Marvel transformed this former factory building into a new community landmark.

Along with bright open classrooms and science labs, the school includes a skylit cafeteria, a gymnasium, and two rooftop play spaces to achieve a total learning environment. Our work for Civic Builders, a non-profit school facilities developer, began with a detailed feasibility assessment for a specific site in Brooklyn. We developed test fits grounded in the educational philosophy of this K-8 charter school, with a critical emphasis on parental involvement and community relationships.

The gymnasium features vibrant wall graphics and a spacious design. It serves as a key facility for students, promoting physical activity and teamwork.

Complex existing conditions called for an exploration of differing approaches to site use and the renovation and creative reuse of existing structures.

The building’s exterior features striking colorful graphics and modern lighting, enhancing its presence in the neighborhood and making it a vibrant community icon.
The cellar level cafeteria receives natural light via a sky-lit areaway at the rear of the building.
Existing building and addition are woven together by a band of metal and glass.
Open classrooms filled with natural light provide an ideal learning environment for students. The thoughtful design enhances the sense of community and engagement.
