Bender shows site photos and describes anticipated annex facilities and nursing program expansion
Bender presents photos of the existing site, describes anticipated facilities including classrooms, D75 rooms, gymatorium, library, play yard, and a planned expansion of Curtis's nursing program by up to 100 seats, with opening anticipated in 2031.
Now I'm going to take you through a couple of slides of images of the site in its current condition.
Next slide, please.
So here are some views of the site facing northeast from the intersection of Wall and Stuyvesant.
It's a little bit, it looks like there's a little bit of an elevation change here.
So the site is sort of above that fence line.
Next slide, please.
And here are some more views of the site in its existing condition facing east on Wall Street.
The SCA affirms the site plan pursuant to Section 1731 of the New York State Public Authorities Law.
In accordance with Section 1732 of the Public Authorities Law, the SCA submitted the proposed site plan to the Mayor and City Council by letter dated July 13, 2026.
Next slide, please.
Should SCA receive approval to acquire the property, the Curtis High School Annex will be constructed and is anticipated to open in 2031.
The school is anticipated to include classrooms to serve approximately 801 high school students,
in addition to special education classrooms, District 75 classrooms, a speech resource room, a music room, an art room, a kitchen cafeteria,
library, gymatorium, guidance and medical suites, as well as general administrative and support spaces.
It is also anticipated to include the creation of an at-grade play yard.
In addition, New York City Public Schools has separately committed to an expansion of the highly successful nursing program that the school currently offers by up to 100 seats beginning when the new capacity is ready for occupancy.
The nursing program has historically had high demand with over 150 applicants this year for approximately 90 seats.
Last slide, please.
Next.
Thank you.
We look forward to the subcommittee's favorable consideration of the proposed site plan and would be pleased to answer any questions from the committee.
Thank you so much.
