The new Lord Stirling Community School is the state's first public school to be constructed as a redevelopment project. The state-of-the-art urban facility is located on George Street within New Brunswick's commercial district and comprises a full performance auditorium, a gymnasium, and facilities for enhanced arts and technology education to accommodate students in grades Pre-Kindergarten through 8. Built as a redevelopment project by Devco on behalf of the New Brunswick Board of Education and the City of New Brunswick, the new Lord Stirling Community School serves as a model for future school construction in special needs school districts across the state under the New Jersey Educational Facilities and Construction Act of 2000. This significant redevelopment initiative not only provides the Board of Education and the entire city of New Brunswick with a much needed new school facility, but also provides for a unique opportunity to anchor further redevelopment for ongoing revitalization activities along the George Street corridor.
