Back in July of 2015, the Brearley School – a 700-student, all-girls prep school – announced plans for an eight- to 10-story academic building at 70-74 East End Avenue, located on the corner of East 83rd Street in the Yorkville section of the Upper East Side. New details have been revealed in a DNAinfo report. The latest plans, which have not yet been filed with the Buildings Department, call for a 12-story building with classrooms and labs, a gymnasium, an auditorium, a library, a lounge, and a playground for younger students. The site can accommodate a new building of up to 75,780 square feet. KPMB Architects will be responsible for the design. The three five-story tenement buildings, previously occupied by 15 rent-stabilized tenants, have been vacated and demolition permits were filed in April. Completion is expected before September of 2019. Brearley’s current 12-story building at 610 East 83rd Street would then receive extensive renovations.
