Middle school opens on Manhattan's Upper East Side

From The New York Times: East Side Middle School, on 91st Street between First and Second Avenues in the Manhattan borough of New York City, has officially opened; it is the first new public school building on the Upper East Side in nearly 50 years. The 80,000-square-foot building, also known as Middle School 114, was made possible through the city’s Educational Construction Fund, a partnership between the city and private developers who build and pay for the school. In return, the developers are allowed to build on part of the land.
