The École

Education

L&K Partners delivered The École’s newly expanded Manhattan campus—an ambitious project that doubled the school’s footprint to approximately 46,000 square feet across roughly 2½ floors. The work involved transforming a former commercial fit-out into a modern, student-centered learning environment, requiring extensive interior reconstruction to introduce light-filled classrooms, specialty learning spaces, a full gymnasium, and a redesigned lobby with dynamic, stadium-style seating. Significant upgrades to MEP systems, structural supports, and acoustic assemblies were implemented to convert the space from its previous commercial use into a high-performance educational facility that meets current safety, accessibility, and programmatic standards.

The result is a cohesive, vibrant campus that supports The École’s bilingual mission and sets a new standard for high-performing, urban learning environments.
