K Center An approximately 8,200-square foot existing one-story structure at Market and Madison streets in Paterson has been converted into a new kindergarten facility to house 84 students. The site design incorporates a new 10,000-square-foot area that provides a student bus stop, a parking lot and a separate play area. The project involved two buildings on two separate lots which were near each other but not adjacent. One building has been abated and demolished and converted into a parking lot. The second building, which was once a medical facility has had its interior totally removed and has been refitted as a 4-classroom kindergarten facility. The project was completed early 2010. Student occupancy is scheduled for September 2010. CAM Design Group Architects was the design firm for the project. Delric construction was awarded the general construction contract May 5, 2009. The construction management firm was Shapiro Associates. New Roberto Clemente Elementary School This new 109,042-square-foot 2-story school facility houses 602 elementary grade students.
