Waterfront Elementary School was originally designed by Paul Rudolph in 1974. Thirty years later, Kideney Architects was commissioned to design the renovations for the facility. In addition to the maintenance concerns of leaking roofs, failing windows and doors, as well as interior finishes and lighting, a two-story, 23,000 SF classroom addition was constructed.
