History of Our Buildings

Above is a timeline of major projects by building. Most recent projects are highlighted. All projects after 2001 have been completed using our local operating budget with the exception of the Jackson Avenue Air Conditioning, which was completed using FAA funding due to the school's proximity to Teterboro Airport. Unfortunately, our current needs are too great to accomplish through annual budgeting.
