Sage and Coombe recently oversaw the redesign and expansion of the Buckley School, a one hundred-year-old independent day school for boys, grades K-9, located on the Upper East Side in Manhattan. Initially engaged to conceive a master plan for the project, Sage and Coombe was then chosen to not only modernize the primary classroom building but to create a cutting-edge new science, music, and art facility across the street inside two five-story townhouses. The main building was entirely reimagined through updates to every classroom, the creation of a new lobby and new lower- and upper-school libraries, as well as the enhancement of the theater program through the addition of collapsible tiered seating to an existing lunchroom.
