From the 2023 Architectural Portfolio: Richard H. Hungerford High School

March 18, 2024
The project was recognized as an outstanding design in the High Schools category.

Richard H. Hungerford School in Staten Island, New York, provides a safe, nurturing environment for 456 students ages 14 to 21 who have diverse physical, emotional, and cognitive needs. Specialized spaces include a teaching kitchen, life skills room, mixed media room, communal cafeteria and accessible playground, and physical therapy rooms. Three high-capacity double-door elevators and expansive hallways with handrails enhance efficient circulation. Additional accessibility features include lower windowsills for wheelchair users, hearing loops in classrooms for those who are hard of hearing, and non-flickering indirect lighting.
