The Yonkers Public School district was looking for a quick, economical way to ease the tremendous overcrowding throughout the district. Modular construction was the ideal solution. In all, six free-standing classroom buildings were constructed.

At M L K Junior High Technical and Computer Management School, PS 14, PS17, and PS 24, two-story buildings were constructed, each housing four classrooms. Each of the two-story buildings consisted of eight modules. Each building has factory-installed elevator shafts as well as internal stair towers. At PS 8 and PS 30, single-story buildings were constructed, each with two classrooms. Each of the single-story buildings consists of three modules.

Full brick veneer was used to seamlessly tie the buildings in with the pre-existing school buildings. The classrooms featured custom stainless steel bookcases as well as custom mechanical equipment.
