21st Century school design aims to equip campuses with innovative solutions that meet modern day learning standards. In a unique turn of events, preserving the old was deemed a priority in an extensive renovation at this Eastern educational institution. At first sight, you would never know a busy school rests behind the façades of three historic New York brownstones. Situated within the Stuyvesant Square District of New York, Friends Seminary School has been serving a community of K-12 students since its founding in 1780. Through its many years of operation, the historic school has gradually integrated historically valued surrounding buildings in order to accommodate its growing student body, including a momentous meeting house and a 1960s-era Hunter Hall.
