Examples of other schools that have been relocated

NUTSHELL RELOCATION SUMMARY
P.S. 59 – school relocated , new construction on 250 E. 57th tied to whole foods and retail. two years to build 59 story highrise,  Will house P.S. 59 and High School of Art and Design.
The temporary site in the old Manhattan Eye, Ear, and Throat Hospital. It was renovated by World-Wide Group using the School Construction Authority’s “Green” guidelines and is the first school building to conform to the School Construction Authority’s “Green” standards

Clinton Middle School  school relocated- school occupied top floor of P.S. 11 in Chelsea.  New permanent school being build on E. 15th Street slated to open in 2015.  School was moved out of overcrowded P.S. 11 to old St. Michael’s Academy on 33rd street bet. 9th and 10th.  City has 7 year lease through Catholic Archdioces of New York Parents found location and were vocal and also have secured blocking off city block for recess during lunch M-Th. Community Board Support for it.  The city spent 11 million to lease St. Michael’s.

P.S. 133 –Park Slope, Brooklyn, School relocated
Due to the complexity of maintaining school operation on the site during construction, the existing PS 133 elementary school would be relocated during construction to a temporary swing space at the St. Thomas Aquinas School located at Fourth Avenue and 8th Street. Prior to the SCA having secured this swing space, the construction plan entailed maintaining school operations for PS 133 in the existing school building while
the new school facility is under construction. Under the original construction plan, the existing school building would have been demolished upon completion and student occupancy of the new school facility in Primary School Replacement Facility at PS 133 (William A. Butler School) FEIS 2012 and, following demolition, construction of the outdoor recreation areas and community garden would have been completed approximately one year later in 2013. Locating the school in a swing space would
enable the site’s full development in three years, including demolition of the existing PS 133 building and construction of the outdoor recreational spaces and community garden, prior to student occupancy in 2012. The use of the swing space would also avoid the disruptive effects that construction activities could have on the students, as well as eliminate the need for a variety of protective measures that would otherwise be required to protect the existing school building and its occupants during construction. The reduction in the overall construction period would also result in energy saving and would shorten the duration of the temporary disruptive effects from construction on the surrounding community by one year. Therefore, given its temporary nature, construction of the proposed project would not result in significant adverse impacts.
