The John C. Daniels School provides Pre-K through 8th grade students with a new school building in an area of New Haven that has a diverse mix of institutional, commercial and residential use. A key goal in the design of the school was to provide a secure yet child-friendly environment for the students in the midst of its urban setting. Designed for 650 students, the building rises two stories and includes classrooms, a library, a full size gymnasium, as well as specialty art and science facilities. A large cafeteria / choral space includes a moveable wall, providing the ability to create two separate rooms when needed. This flexible space is available for use by the surrounding community for large gatherings and functions.
