Though construction of the middle-school was supposed to start this month, no signs yet. Completion target of 2025 still viable, but keep watch.

So, when is the middle-school at the base of the B15 tower (662 Pacific St., aka Plank Road) coming? 

When I walked by three nights ago, it didn't look like anything was happening, as shown in the photo at right, though construction was supposed to start this month.

Remember, everything has taken longer than expected, with the start and completion date pushed back steadily.

As I wrote 6/15/22, according to the latest update, from February 2022, to the School Construction Authority/Department of Education Five-Year Capital Plan, the school, known as I.S. 653, is due in March 2025. The school's address likely will be 491 Dean St.

See screenshot below, which also indicates that construction was supposed to start July 2022. (Here's the overall page for updates.)

A March 2025 completion implies a September 2025 opening, with ample flex in the schedule. Still, there's a lot to be done, as shown by the raw basement in the photo below.

Note: the private developers delivered the core and shell of the building; the construction of the school is the SCA's responsibility.
