Old sports museum to become school

The Department of Education plans to convert the former Sports Museum of America space in 26 Broadway into a school. The museum went bankrupt and closed earlier this year. The city has not signed a lease yet for the 45,000-square-foot space, but a spokesperson said it is "very close to an agreement." The space could become a home for the Greenwich Village Middle School, which needs to move out of its current building in fall 2010 due to overcrowding. The new space would provide seats for 1,000 students, but it is unclear when it would be ready. [Downtown Express]
