Jarmel Kizel Adds to Charter School

JERSEY CITY-The growth of the Jersey City Community Charter School mirrors the expansion of the state's overall charter school movement.

By Alyson Grala | Updated on April 17, 2009

JERSEY CITY-Jarmel Kizel Architects and Engineers Inc. recently completed work on a 20,500-square-foot addition at the Jersey City Community Charter School at 128 Danforth Ave. here. The new addition has nearly doubled the size of the existing school, which is located in a former catering hall.

The school serves 594 students in grades K-8, with 396 being located in the Danforth Ave. building. The school was founded by the Urban League of Hudson County in 1997 and opened its doors in September of that year with 77 kindergarten students. Since then the school has added a grade every year, with the addition of the eighth grade class in the 2005/2006 school year completing the organization of the school.

Jarmel Kizel has been involved with the school almost since its inception, initially helping with the permitting for modular classrooms, then providing architecture and engineering services for the renovation of the second floor into classrooms–the first floor had previously been renovated. The latest project, the three-story annex, includes classrooms, offices, a library, a “cafetorium” and a gym with a rooftop playground.
