This 1898 Renaissance Revival-style building was renovated in 2025 by 1100 Architect, converting 8 apartments into several welcoming classrooms in the first phase of a multi-phase project expanding and making connections to the adjacent lower school building. The renovation aimed to achieve ADA accessibility and provide a welcoming, collaborative, joyful environment for learning. The project was recently completed, and this is an opportunity to get a first look at the campus' newest building with 1100 Architect Principal Gwen Conners and Karen Benson.
Aiming to achieve LEED Gold certification, the architects included a arnge of sustainability measures, including conversion to all-electric, new low-infiltration windows, sustainable materials and new LED lighting, quality views, and acoustic considerations. By excavating the cellar, the school was able to accommodate two music classrooms on that level, incorporating natural light below grade through the use of a light monitor. In the tree-shaded rear yard, 1100 Architect has created a "science roof" which makes use of a setback terrace.
The Berkeley Carroll School is a college preparatory K-12 independent school, one of the oldest in Brooklyn, accommodating students from around the city. This new building serves children grades 1 to 4 along with music, art, and science classrooms.
The ADA Entrance is next to the main stoop. All spaces on the tour are wheelchair accessible.
Security screening is required to enter the building. All attendees must show a valid photo ID at entry.
No photography allowed.
