Former Public School #78 is being rehabilitated into an affordable housing community. The new, modern facility will contain 46 dwelling units for low- and moderate-income households.  We have designed a Project where special needs individuals are welcomed and that engages actively with the neighborhood. The site is at 321 Olympic Avenue on the city’s East Side. 

 A unique and exciting feature is the school’s auditorium/theater which is being refurbished and then made available for use by community groups and service agencies that provide education and enrichment programs, for a reasonable fee. We are especially interested in teaming with a theater/arts/music group that will use the space for its intended use—rehearsal and performance. This is a real theater with 500 seats that with functional lighting and sound systems and is located in a historically significant Buffalo landmark building.
