Daniel Webster Magnet Elementary SchoolNew Classroom, Art, Science, Music  and Cafeteria Wing

The Daniel Webster School, built in 1929, has a distinguished history in elementary education in New Rochelle.  Its innovative programs were crammed into subdivided classrooms within the existing building. The new 16,000 sf addition includes a new center for the talented and gifted, as well as lunchroom, kitchen, and play area.  In addition, 20 existing classrooms were restored.

The new building matches the existing in height, scale, exterior style, and interior character.  Great effort was made to maintain the historical feeling of all the spaces.  Though modern materials cannot easily emulate 1929 craftsmanship, the addition forms a seamless whole, while introducing a new student entrance, a garden court, and bus drop-off.
