Demolition is under way on the building that used to stand at the corner of Mill and Henry in Red Hook, readying the lot for the construction of the future home of PAVE Academy, the charter school currently located a few blocks away in the neighborhood. The rendering above shows how it’s supposed to look when complete (click on it to enlarge). According to a representative for Civic Builders, the nonprofit developer on the project, the goal is to have the 350-seat facility ready to go sometime in 2013. The new construction will allow PAVE to accommodate more students than its current building does. Click through for a photo of the site as it’s looking these days. GMAP

Sharing space is not as easy and the Department of Education would have all of us believe. Sadly, some believed Mr. Robertson, PAVE’s director when he claimed they would leave P.S. 15 after two years. That was in 2008. And this new building will be ready when?
My children attend PAVE. I’m glad that they finally have started construction. Sharing the building with P.S. 15 is getting rough!
When I walked by that yesterday, I wondered what was going on and told myself there was no way Brownstoner would cover this part of Brooklyn. I guess I was wrong–thanks for the scoop.
