Saint Ann’s School is a progressive, arts-oriented K-12 private school in the Brooklyn Heights neighborhood.

New limestone benches flank the main entry to create a welcoming sense of community.
New systems infrastructure was prioritized to support all phases of anticipated renovation work in the Bosworth building.
