From the 2024 Architectural Portfolio: The Abigail Adams School, Public School 131

Built as an expansion of the Abigail Adams School, otherwise known as Public School 131 in Jamaica, Queens, the four-story structure adds 384 seats to an elementary school already bursting at the seams. Serving a population of 872 students, the existing facility is eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. Critical to the project was to provide ADA compliance in the older structure and create an at-grade lobby to serve as an arrival point for students and staff. The addition also has an administrative suite, 20 classrooms, a gymnasium, exercise room, an auxiliary dining space, library, medical offices, and outdoor play area.
