DMR Architects designs shared services building.

Representatives of DMR Architects were recently on hand to break ground on a milestone building project in Bergen County. Designed by DMR Architects, the 10,000-s/f facility will accommodate the services of both the Lyndhurst Board of Education Offices and Lyndhurst Youth Center.

As part of an educational complex, this new facility will be located on 9.4 acres of land at the corner of Grant and Fern Avenues on the same site as Lyndhurst High School.

The building has been designed to complement the surrounding neighborhood with similar residential details such as brick, skyline height and window scale. Safe pedestrian walkways have been provided as well as separate and distinct entrances for each of the building's uses.

"DMR Architects is proud to design this unique building for the Township of Lyndhurst," commented Henry Ossi, director of construction administration, DMR Architects. "We are particularly proud to be helping Lyndhurst become a state leader in shared services through effective facilities development. We believe that this approach will continue to bridge the gap between municipalities and their school districts in a mutually beneficial way."
