Albany City School District Hackett Middle School-Phase II Albany, NY

Sano-Rubin was the general contractor for the Albany City School District’s renovation of the Hackett Middle School Phase II, which began June 2006.  The building was vacated during the renovation. For the 2006-2007 and 2007-2008 school years, students attended classes at the former Philip Schuyler Elementary School.

 

Phase II included extensive renovations to all five floors to accommodate up to 650 students in grades 6-8 and divide those students into teams of 100-115 students each. Academic wings were organized around core classes such as English, social studies, and math. Classrooms for technology, art, and music are shared among the teams.  The building was designed so that sixth, seventh, and eighth graders are separated by floor or wing. In addition, each wing includes administrative offices for student oversight and assistance. Boys and girls restrooms were also added to each floor. Each wing has six classrooms, four for general instruction, one for special education, and one for science.
