Cornings Academy Place Apartments Ready to Rent

CORNING (WENY) - A historic Corning landmark will soon be called "home" to more than 58 people. What many locals remember as Corning Free Academy is now Academy place, a luxurious apartment building that's keeping bits and piece of its original history. Within less than a year, Purcell Construction, has turned an old middle school into 58 luxury apartments. From one bedroom apartments to Townhouses, no two apartments are the same. Before construction began, the contractors made it a priority to keep as much of the building's history as possible. Keeping things like original bookshelves from the library all the way to the chalk boards. "There's also some apartments that have the original chalkboard or the original floor that was refinished and original cubbies," explains resident manager, Loni Sanders. Monday was the first day potential renters could tour the model apartment. So far twelve have already committed to making Academy Place their new home. "This building is a historic building. So there's a lot of great people that have attachments to this building with it being a previous school. A lot of people that I've talked too they either went to school here or taught here," says Sanders. Sanders says the new renters are expected to move in by May 1st. She will be giving tours of the apartments on Monday and Wednesday afternoons from 1PM to 4PM.
