Designed by Ciardullo Architects, PS 49 kept its historic 1920s look and it has been listed as a designated site by the NYS Historic Preservation Office due to its beautiful brick work and limestone facades. The school is located next to Juniper Valley Park. The project consisted of a 25,865-square-foot  ‘L’ Shape addition to the outdoor area, allowing extra space for outdoor playgrounds, and beautiful landscaped views of the park, as well as the interior renovation and exterior restoration.
