Visitors will have the opportunity to take guided tours of DREAM Charter School, a 200,000 sq ft century-old former icehouse meticulously brought back to life as “the most stunning school in America” (Fast Company) after decades of abandonment. Visitors will also have the chance to meet and speak with school staff, current students, and alumni.

Designed by Adjaye Associates, the restoration of 20 Bruckner was an architectural feat, from its light-filled, cathedral-style library to its rooftop playspace. And as visitors will see during their 20 Bruckner experience, it’s not just a school – it’s a place where students and families in the community can access wraparound supports, free afterschool and summer programming, and formal postsecondary college and career support. DREAM at 20 Bruckner delivers on the belief that every child, from every zip code, deserves truly beautiful spaces to play, learn, and grow.
