Foundation work is underway at Academy of American Studies located at 28-04 41st Avenue. A four-story school is slated to rise in the former parking lot of Newcomers High School. We last visited the site in April when construction was in the excavation stage.¹

The project is slated to complete in September, 2021. A rendering on site can be viewed below.
