SCOTCH PLAINS, NJ-A multi-faceted educational facility being built for Newmark Education, a private school network for children with learning disabilities and behavioral disorders, is close to completion here and will open in September.

The project, including the redevelopment of an existing office building and construction of two new structures, is being managed by Avison Young. The completed 58,315-square-foot learning complex will house Newmark's K-8 School and High School, as well as its administrative staff.

The school will feature a cafeteria, gym, learning commons, and teacher training area – for the professional development of teachers from across the country.

Sharp Management, a division of Century 21 Construction, provided construction management. AY oversaw plan review, construction budget and schedule, and provided assistance throughout the bidding and building phases. It oversees all vendors, including furnishings, technology and movers.

The Avison Young team managing the assignment includes Edward Walsh, Tom Walsh, Allison Arnold and Alyssa Wright.

“Beyond giving this special community a safe and effective learning environment for those who need it most, this opportunity also enabled us to grow our portfolio's diversity,” said Tom Walsh.

The project represents the team's third assignment assisting not-for-profit private education facilities.
