Kindle Education

Summary

Location: Jersey City, New Jersey
Size: 17,550+ Square Feet
Owner: Kindle Education Public Charter School
Architect: KSS Architects LLP

For this design-build project we partnered with KSS Architects LLP to renovate high-rise office space of 35 Journal Square Plaza for educational use. The project entailed renovating 17,000+ square feet spanning two floors of the iconic 'Bank Building' for Kindle Education Public Charter School. The untypical floorplan was maximized throughout the design process to create flexible learning spaces. The school, which operated on Communipaw Avenue for the 2023-2024 school year, will host 6th and 7th grades during the upcoming year with the hope to add an 8th grade in the near future. The tuition-free middle school was completed for the beginning of the 2024-2025 school year.
