Targeted Draft Environmental Impact Statement

Proposed Redevelopment of The Former St. John Villa Campus, Staten Island

On behalf of the New York City Department of Education (DOE), the New York City School Construction Authority (SCA) proposes to create three new school facilities, an athletic field with an approximately 700-seat bleacher section, a maintenance building, and an internal driveway network with two parking lots, all of which would be located on Block 3087, Lot 1, as well as a separate parking lot on Block 3089, Lot 59 (the “proposed project”) on the former St. John Villa campus at 57 Cleveland Place in the Arrochar section of Staten Island (the “project site”).  The three new schools would consist of an approximately 764-seat Gifted and Talented primary school/intermediate school (PS/IS) and two separate, independently operated intermediate/high schools (IS/HS) that would collectively provide 1,350 seats.  The two IS/HS would share a gymnasium, auditorium, kitchen, and lobby.  The PS/IS would serve students in grade levels pre-kindergarten through eight throughout New York City.  Each IS/HS would serve students in grade levels six through twelve in the Borough of Staten Island.  All three schools would also serve special education students enrolled in a District 75 program in the Borough of Staten Island.  The proposed schools would collectively introduce approximately 2,114 new school seats to the project site.
