In 2004, E.W. Howell completed the new elementary school for the East Moriches Union Free School District, which holds grades kindergarten through fourth grade. The 73,000 SF single story building was designed by Burton Behrendt & Smith Architects. The exterior facade is brick with a cultured stone wainscot and the roof is shingled with cupolas. Included in this state-of-the-art educational facility are a gymnasium, cafeteria, and auditorium along with classrooms and staff offices. The grounds also include a 10,000 square foot paved courtyard, a playground, and a multi-purpose ball field.
