Maritime Middle School in Red Hook, Brooklyn NY. The 640-seat school would take over two industrial buildings and a vacant lot on Delavan Street (21 – 31 Delavan). The school is to be a feeder to Governor’s Island’s New York Harbor School. The school on the 60,000 square-foot lot would have an indoor pool, a facility to build a boat inside and focus on preparing students for jobs in the maritime industry. Middle school classroom setups are fluid and have an evolved learning environment over elementary schools. Classrooms and other spaces are in transition during a school day accommodating various classes, student cohorts and course setups.
