UPK Facilities Expansion 

The Universal Preschool (UPK) Facilities Expansion project is construction work that will be undertaken at Faber Elementary School during the 2025-26 and 2026-27 school years. The project will add eight (8) new classrooms to help support programming and the district’s commitment to offering universal, full-day preschool education for all resident 3 and 4 year olds in Dunellen.

Project Overview

The project will add eight (8) new classrooms at Faber that meet the state’s requirement for new preschool classrooms. This addition will help us continue to support our district program and our push to provide universal preschool for the community of Dunellen. 

 

Project Funding

The project is partially funded through a $3.4M grant from the state of New Jersey and partially funded from the district’s reserve accounts. Dunellen was one of only four districts in the county to receive the grant and an article about the approval can be found here: Governor Murphy and Commissioner Dehmer Announce Award of $42 Million to Fund Preschool Facilities Projects Across New Jersey
