A big week for education! 🏫✂️ Loci celebrated the ribbon-cutting of Prospect Schools’ Windsor Terrace campus, transforming a 70,000-SF high school into an elementary school. We also exhibited at #NYCSC2026, connecting with charter school leaders across NY!

The Loci team enjoyed a night at Dizzy’s Club celebrating the John Coltrane Centennial, with José James, Ron Blake, Geoffrey Keezer, Noriko Ueda & Rudy Royston honoring the timeless John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman🎷@jazzdotorg

A little green-thumb work around the Loci office 🌿 Sai and Layton gave our Monstera some TLC, separating the overgrown plant into new pots and giving each one more room to grow. Now we have even more greenery to spread around the studio. 🪴

Congratulations to Brooklyn Prospect Charter School on ranking #10 among New York high schools in U.S. News & World Report’s 2026–2027 Best High Schools rankings! 🎉 We’re proud to be nearing completion of their new Downtown Brooklyn high school campus.

A great NYC streetscape idea: Rapunzel (2025) by Anthony Olubunmi Akinbola transforms scaffold netting at Washington & Willoughby in Brooklyn into public art. Love how Facade Foundation is turning a typical city eyesore into something creative and engaging.

A real treat watching the World Cup Final at Meadowlands Racetrack with nearly 80 friends and colleagues. Fully catered, great company, and an unforgettable match. Huge thanks to Loci and David Briggs for making it happen!

GO KNICKS!🏀

Sai Hu and Zarah Durst helped artist Yuke Li bring one of the winning designs for the 2026 SBS Murals Project to life in Astoria, Queens. A vibrant community-driven public art initiative transforming 31st Ave Open Street. 🎨

Progress in motion. The gymnasium at Brooklyn Prospect High School is taking shape as construction advances on the new Downtown Brooklyn campus. On track for Fall 2026.

When the White House ballroom renderings were released, we looked for a clearer narrative. Instead: silence. Architecture is public work—without dialogue, trust erodes. @CommEdgeCollab commonedge.org/how-much-info…

Yesterday we kicked off our first full production day for Loci’s upcoming mini docu series. From interviews to day-in-the-life moments, we’re capturing the people, process, and energy behind our work—without giving too much away just yet. 👀 Stay tuned.

New construction photos from Brooklyn Prospect High School in Downtown Brooklyn show progress on site, including steel framing for the future library outside the student lounge and the art room taking shape with a new interior window.

Community is at the heart of our work. In 2025, Loci proudly supported nonprofits whose missions reflect our values. Thank you to the organizations doing meaningful work every day. Wishing everyone a healthy, hopeful 2026.

The Loci team visited @PrattInstitute this week for a tour of their Assembly Loop Lab, 3D printing facilities, and campus AI tools. An inspiring visit that sparked new ideas for how we can integrate these technologies into future projects. Thanks, Pratt!

Loci celebrated Thanksgiving at Family Meal at Blue Hill. Our second visit and still highly recommended. A delicious four-course farm-to-table meal and great team time… plus a Benedict Cumberbatch sighting because, well, NYC. 🧡🍽️

Loci transformed an existing South Bronx building into a 28,500-sf middle school for Access Bronx Charter School adding a double-height gym and vibrant design that reflects the school’s dynamic culture and community.

We’re thrilled to share a first look at Prospect Schools’ new 130,000 SF high school in Downtown Brooklyn—a “Building Within a Building” transformation featuring light-filled classrooms, a vibrant cafeteria, and a full-size gym. Excited to bring this vision to life!

Excited to connect at the annual New York Charter Schools Conference in Rochester this week. Swing by our table for freebies, including chocolate. We will also have consultation hours to help guide you on your upcoming facilities project. Looking forward to seeing you there!

Loci has a new logo in French Blue. C'est bon! We love it and hope you do too! lociarchitecture.com/
