The proposed expansion of P.S. 8 certainly gets point for contextuality! Judging from the rendering shown to the PTA of the Brooklyn Heights lower school, the architecture firm of Bostwick Purcell did its best to make the addition on Poplar Street look as if it had always been a part of the original building, which fronts on Hicks Street. The 18,000-square-foot addition is much needed giving the growing popularity of the school. There will be a net gain of seven classrooms after all is said and done, P.S. 8 Principal Seth Phillips told the Brooklyn Eagle yesterday. Plus two resource room spaces and one office, and the bathrooms. There will also be an elevator installed which will allow for handicap access. The construction is expected to take three years.
