South Street Elementary School

SSP Architects worked with Ernest Bock and Construction on the completion of the new South Street Elementary School in Newark. The 110,000 SF building houses students in grades PK-8. Specialty design elements include a rooftop paver play area with overhead trellis, a gymnasium over the cafeteria impacting acoustics, strict flood hazard area storm water controls, and LEED certification.
