I'm squeezing in another while I have the chance! 

The Former High School for the Performing Arts (now the Jacqueline Kennedy-Onassis High School), is a landmarked building constructed in 1893 that received national recognition via the popular 1980 movie ?Fame?. 

JLGA lead the complex renovation of the Romanesque Revival-style school - designed by renowned NYC Schools Superintendent and Architect C.B.J. Snyder - which included the complete rehabilitation of the building?s interiors to create new classrooms, a library, a multi-purpose gymnasium and a 250-seat theater. JLGA also restored the landmarked façade, reconstructed the fire damaged roof and constructed a new elevator/stair core to meet current safety codes.

The historic restoration of the Former High School for the Performing Arts received an Award of Excellence from the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission and a Historic Educational Building Award from the Preservation League of New York State.
