Each school to accommodate over 1,600 students. On May 25, 2005, the City Council approved the New York City School Construction Authority’s proposals for the construction of two new schools: a high school in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, and an intermediate and high school facility in Heartland Village, Staten Island. Student occupancy of both schools is expected to begin in September of 2008.

Sunset Park High School will be located at 932 4th Avenue and 156 34th Street on the block bounded by 34th Street to the north, 4th Avenue to the east, 35th Street to the south and 3rd Avenue to the west, and will adjoin the John D’Emic Park. The 48,000-square-foot site currently contains one and two-story buildings used as industrial warehouses. These buildings will be acquired by the School Construction Authority and replaced with a five-story, 191,000-square-foot building that will serve about 1,640 students. (read more…)
