Grades: PreK-6

Budget: $19.7 Million

Architect: Moody Nolan (MBE)

Construction Manager: The Pike Company

Completed: 2018

The Children’s School of Rochester School 15 was relocated to the former School I that was one of RCSD’s oldest buildings, built in the Cobbs Hill neighborhood. The Children’s School Project restores much of the facility’s historic fabric along with a major early childhood classroom addition that creates a fully enclosed/secure courtyard.

The other new features include:

  • Six new classrooms.
  • Two new Special Education classrooms.
  • The full array of resource rooms, including autism supports.
  • A shared computer/project classroom, and mini-collaboratorium.
  • A dedicated Pre-Kindergarten Wing and parent drop-off/pick-up car loop.
  • An expanded café (the original had no windows), and kitchen/serving.
  • A receiving dock, holding area, and outdoor equipment storage.

Beyond the reconstruction of the original building, the site improvements include playgrounds, a new bus loop on-site, and 50% more parking.
