Brooklyn Friends School opens new high school facility in MetroTech
Three hundred people representing Brooklyn Friends School’s (BFS) past, present and future celebrated the opening of the school’s new, 40,000-square-foot facility for the 9th through 12th grade Upper School at 116 Lawrence St. in Downtown Brooklyn on Sept. 8.
The new facility, which welcomes 200 students and 40 faculty members this September, is a stand-alone “building within a building” at the first three floors of One MetroTech Center — the first building in MetroTech). It is just one block away from the school’s main building at 375 Pearl St.
The college-preparatory Quaker school, with 895 students from age two through 12th grade, has partnered with Forest City Ratner Companies (FCRC) to bring the new facility to life.
