PS468X is a new five-story primary school (with a cellar) serving pre-K through 5th grade, with a projected enrollment of 468 students. The building is designed to meet NYC Green Schools Guide (2019) requirements and applicable NYC sustainability and energy laws. The structure features a deep pile foundation with reinforced concrete walls and below-grade vapor barrier, a cast-in-place concrete superstructure with shear walls through the fifth floor, and structural steel framing for the roof and equipment platforms. Key elements include long-span gymnatorium roof framing, a sound-isolating slab separating learning areas from the gymnatorium, and an exterior envelope of insulated precast concrete panels with masonry veneer and thermally broken, dual-glazed aluminum window and entrance systems.
