This new Science High School involved new construction and significant renovation to an existing commercial facility. The new P.A.N.T.H.E.R. Academy - Paterson And NASA Together for High Expectations and Results is a state-of-the-art aerospace studies high school built with the National Aeronautics & Space Administration. The high school accommodates up to 200 students pursuing a math and science curriculum. New construction included a 15,000-square-foot, three-story addition with a 27-foot high and 40-foot in diameter planetarium dome that is connected to the existing building, a totally renovated 15,000-square-foot one-story commercial building. The school is also comprised of 10 classrooms, auditorium, two chemistry labs, physics lab, computer lab and media center. The school was designed by Comerro Coppa Architects P.C. and constructed by Joseph A. Natoli Construction Corporation. On September 9, 2004 New Jersey Schools Construction Corporation (SCC) representatives joined Paterson School District educators, area officials and community supporters for a ribbon cutting ceremony that featured a Ribbon Cutting, Planetarium presentation, and tours of the new 30,000-square-foot structure. |
