The design capitalizes on light, air, and panoramic views to create fun and flexible learning environments.
Located on a previously undeveloped parcel of the Hunters Point South Development in Queens, which was master planned by FXCollaborative and reformed as part of the City's zoning and redevelopment project, the Hunter's Point Campus accommodates 1,071 students. The 145,000-square-foot school comprises three organizations, an intermediate school, a high school, and District 75, also housing shared facilities and the Academy for Careers in Television and Film.

Our design creates distinct learning environments that allow each program to function independently, while sharing common resources. Major assembly spaces are clustered in the southwest wing of the building, while the auditorium is located as an object in the center of the third and fourth floors, straddling the intermediate and high schools. The building's top floor is its crowning feature, with dining spaces located adjacent to a large outdoor terrace, affording sweeping views of Manhattan and the East River. The school complies with the New York City Green Schools Guide.
