Central Queens Academy (“CQA”) is a tuition-free, public middle school. Established in 2012, CQA serves close to 400 scholars of diverse backgrounds from kindergarten through eight grade. The institution’s mission is to prepare each and every student for a college education.
With the goal of creating unified facilities to grow their program, CQA has searched for and reviewed a number of opportunities to work with development partners on the construction of purpose-built facilities for the school in Queens. CQA advanced the programming and design efforts to the Concept Design level and then worked with development partners, who was in turn responsible for completing the design and building out the space according to the institution’s requirements.
