Work has officially commenced at TECHNICO Construction Services latest New York City School Construction Authority (NYCSCA) project, PS82 at 63-14 14th Ave. This new $63.711 million ground-up middle school will soon become an educational hub for over 450 students, spanning four floors and 65,000 s/f. Designed by the DLR Group, PS82 will offer a learning environment, including: a gymnatorium, full-service cafeteria, multiple science labs, modern library, and a dedicated exercise room.
The building’s concrete superstructure, wrapped in a distinctive green motif rainscreen, will be heated and cooled by an all-electric HVAC system, which is part of the NYCSCA’s initiative to reduce carbon emissions and promote energy efficiency. Adding to its sustainability features, the school will include a 1,400 s/f vegetative roof, which will naturally filter rainwater and serve as a thermal barrier – helping keep the building warm in winter and cool in summer.
Scheduled to open its doors in late 2026, PS82 is set to become a space where students can thrive.
