Livingston's Newark Academy Breaks Ground On $11.3M Middle School Renovation

Livingston, NJ – Livingston’s Newark Academy Middle School has officially broken ground on its $11.3 million renovation to its building.

During an April 15 ceremony, school administrators and students gathered to kick off the construction of the new school building, which will include new classrooms, science laboratories and additional common areas.

The middle school expansion is the third phase of the recently launched “Rise & Flourish Campaign,” and is anticipated to be completed in the autumn of 2017.

A new Upper School Academic Center and outdoor athletic facilities were completed during phases one and two of the campaign, a school news release stated.

“We have all shared the same vision… that our outstanding middle school curriculum and the students for whom that curriculum exists have a first-rate facility in which to learn, grow and prepare for the future,” Head of School Donald Austin stated.
