Lady Liberty Academy Charter School

Built in nine months?

Newark, NJ

After years of moving from one location to the next, Lady Liberty Academy needed a permanent home or risked losing their charter. Alongside a limited budget, another significant challenge arose: their new home had to be built in just nine months. Complete offsite construction of a 17,400-square-foot building and the renovation of a 50-year-old, 26,000-square-foot single-story building, reduced energy footprint and budget, making a complicated project a reality.
