Location

Hunter's Point Community Middle School is located within the modern Q404 Hunter's Point Campus, at 1-50 51st Avenue, Long Island City, NY 11101, between Center Boulevard and 2nd Street. Our school occupies the third floor and a portion of the first floor, providing students with a welcoming, dynamic learning environment in one of New York City's most vibrant waterfront communities.

Thoughtfully designed with sustainability and student learning in mind, our campus features abundant natural light, inspiring views of the East River and Manhattan skyline, and spaces that foster collaboration, creativity, and connection. Our location also provides opportunities to extend learning beyond the classroom, drawing on the rich cultural, historical, and environmental resources of Long Island City and New York City.

We proudly share our campus with The Academy for Careers in Television and Film and The Riverview School, a District 75 program serving students in grades 6–12. Through collaboration and shared community experiences, our three schools contribute to a vibrant campus culture that celebrates diversity, encourages meaningful connections, and reflects our commitment to Scholarship, Community, and Creativity.

Excerpt from Architectural Record:

The facility can accommodate more than 1,000 students dispersed among the three schools. In addition to the high school, the building contains the newly created Hunter’s Point Community Middle School, with an ecology focus, and the Riverview School for special-education students. Located on a former industrial site, most classrooms—along with the light-filled hallways, library, and cafeteria—treat students to a sweeping panorama of the Manhattan skyline. “Even though it’s an urban school, we’ve tried to make it feel as if it’s part of a dynamic landscape,” says FXFOWLE senior partner Sylvia Smith. “The challenge was creating a narrative that reflected this amazing site.”  Read more about the origin of our building.
