This former high school was built in three phases between 1936 and 1973. Closed in 1998, it fell into disrepair. Seeking to breathe new life into the facility, the City of East Haven charged the team with transforming the main wing of the building into affordable housing for seniors.
The project team has repurposed the four-story, 104,871-square-foot brick building into 70 units—40% are at 40% of the area median income (AMI), 10% are at 80% AMI, 30% are at market, and the remainder are set aside for households who are currently homeless or at risk of homelessness.
