Located in Manhattan's Financial District, The Calremont Preparatory School is the result of a brilliant rehabilitation of the former Bank of America Headquarters. The new 120,000 square foot private school
accomodates 1000 students pre-K through 8. The project won the Historic Preservation Award from the State of New York, and has been featured in the news since the groundbreaking in 2004.
The grand banking hall was restored and outfitted as a grand auditorium. Interior bank offices were reconfigured to provide new classrooms, laboratories, offices and an Olympic length swimming pool. The bank vault is now a new cafeteria and the bank roof now holds a state-of-the-art gymnasium with a playground on its' rooftop.
