DRG Architects was retained by the New York City School Construction Authority (NYCSCA) to build a replacement school for R722 in Staten Island. The school is the new home of R086, The Richard H. Hungerford School, and it can accommodate 456 students with special needs.
The Hungerford school was founded in 1967 and educates students from ages 14 to 21 years old in both curriculum and vocational studies. These students have various levels of disabilities, which require building modifications above the SCA standards to accommodate special wheelchairs and devices. Students are referred to a specific class ratio by the Committee on Special Education. This school is a first of its kind, developed from the NYCSCA’s vision to have a school purposely designed to meet the unique needs and challenges of students with special needs and disabilities in a nurturing, supportive environment.
During the design for this project, DRG Architects used BIM software along with clash detection for the coordination of all trades. DRG Architects also utilized VR and augmented reality to demonstrate to the end users what final spaces would look and feel like. This process helped to design the many atypical spaces required for this specialized school. Drone surveys were also utilized during design and construction to obtain site conditions as well as to document progress. During construction, DRG field architects used mobile construction software (PlanGrid) to create field reports, punch lists, and to document filed changes that were integrated into the model. This tool provided information to all parties involved in the project and allowed for open communication to resolve any issues.
