Paul Robeson Charter School Celebrates Substantial Completion with Ribbon Cutting Ceremony
Members of the AOS team were proud to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new academic building at Paul Robeson Charter School (PRCS), celebrating the completion of a transformative, community-focused project that will support students for generations to come. School administrators, faculty, students, alumni, and the design and construction teams gathered this week to celebrate the substantial completion, reflect on the effort that brought the project to fruition, and tour the building as the school prepares to welcome its first group of students after the Thanksgiving break.
The facility accommodates 750 students and includes 38 academic classrooms, dedicated science labs, elective and specialty spaces, and administrative and academic support areas. A shared cafeteria-gymnasium anchors the building, while flexible learning zones and gathering areas throughout the school provide inviting environments for collaboration, creativity, and student engagement. Outdoor recreation spaces, scheduled to be completed this spring, will further enhance the campus with age-appropriate play spaces and a nature-based learning environment designed to encourage exploration and physical activity.
AOS collaborated closely with the full design and engineering team to bring this vision to reality, working alongside Kelly Maiello Architects (Associate Architect), Ground Reconsidered (Landscape Architect), Carroll Engineering (Civil Engineer), O’Donnell & Naccarato (Structural Engineer), Bala Consulting Engineers (MEP/FP Engineer), NV5 (AV/IT/Security), and Corsi Associates (Food Service Consultant). Aegis Property Group served as the Owner’s Representative, and Torcon provided Construction Management services.
The ribbon cutting marks an exciting milestone for PRCS and the surrounding community, signaling the beginning of a new era of learning in a facility thoughtfully designed to nurture student growth, curiosity, and long-term success.
