Building Tour: Evergreen Charter School

Join the AIANY Architecture for Education Committee for a tour of Evergreen Charter School, the first mass-timber school in New York. Located in one of Nassau County’s most impoverished neighborhoods, Evergreen provides underserved families with an attractive alternative to public schools. The benefits of mass timber as an environmentally responsible building material have been well documented and research is growing around its positive impact on student wellbeing and learning. Experience the campus firsthand and learn about the benefits and challenges of working with mass timber from project architect Martin Hopp, AIA, RIBA.

Meet at 5pm on June 24 directly at the school
