History
The eastern portion of the site was formerly occupied by the Dyckman Oval and the western portion of the site was formerly occupied by Sherman Creek.[3][4] The project was approved by the Board of Estimate on May 27, 1948.[5] The groundbreaking ceremony was held on March 1, 1949 and construction was completed in April 1951.[1][6] The first tenants began moving into the complex in September 1950.[7] It was designed by architect William F. Ballard.[8]
21st century
In March 2023, renovations to the two playgrounds within this complex (one is located between Buildings III and V and another is located between IV and VI) were completed as part of a $438,000 project.[9]
