Saccoccio & Associates was retained by the Urban Collaborative Accelerated Program to design a new building addition and renovations to its Broadway facility. The design plan creates new science classroom/lab space, a new gymnasium, art studio, offices and conference room. Many standards adopted by the Northeast Collaborative for High Performance Schools – NE CHPs – for energy efficiency and environmental responsibility were incorporated into the design. The facade design was inspired by the commercial use of this urban block frequently called “auto row.”
