PS/IS 281M - East River Residential Development

PS/IS 281M is the new school that has been incorporated into the East River Residential Development.  This school, accomodating 612 local students will service children from Pre-K through 8th grade and have dedicated spaces for children with special needs.  Accomodations were made to best utilize the exciting, newly developed space surrounding the school, while still maintaining a focus on the most effective learning environment for the students.  The construction of thsi school also presented many challenges that had to be overcome to incorporate this school structure into the existing community such as modifications to mechanical plans to account for noise of equipment.  DVL Consulting Engineers, Inc. provided mechanical. electrical, plumbing and fire protection design services for the building and played a critical role in making the changes and modification necessary to make this challenging project a success.
