Purcell | Everett Architects has completed a program with the NYC School Construction Authority providing 10 standalone Gym to ten different schools across three boroughs. Although the design program intent was to design a ‘prototype’ gym building, each site and school presented unique challenges, which could vary anything from the overall parti in relation to the existing school building, to the actual gymnasium interior configuration. Construction methodology implemented either brick masonry over CMU substrate or load bearing pre-cast concrete panels, depending on site restraints and/or access restrictions.
