8 Former Annunciation School (Buffalo, NY) featured the adaptive reuse of a 1928 Catholic school into 20 market-rate apartments and 10,000 sf of commercial space. This $4 million project was financed with historic tax credits, energy tax credits and private financing. Former Niagara Falls High School (Niagara Falls, NY) featured the adaptive reuse of a 1924 high school into an arts and cultural center with artist studio spaces and exhibition and gathering spaces. This ongoing project has been financed by state and local grants and private charitable donations. Former St. Ann s Catholic School (Buffalo, NY) this vacant 50,000 square foot school on Buffalo s East Side presents an excellent opportunity for adaptive reuse as a mixed-use complex featuring affordable housing. Possible capital sources include historic tax credits and low-income housing tax credits. PHOTO: VIEWS OF BUFFALO Back to School: Adaptive Reuse
