Paul Robeson Educational Campus on Albany Avenue will be available for coronavirus testing until Jan. 15, according to the city.
CROWN HEIGHTS, BROOKLYN — A high school campus in Crown Heights will be open as a coronavirus testing site this week, according to health officials.
Paul Robeson Educational Campus at 150 Albany Ave., which houses the Paul Robeson High School for Business and Technology, will be open from Monday, Jan. 11 through Friday, Jan. 15 for coronavirus tests. Its hours will be 8 a.m. until 1 p.m.
The testing site comes as public high schools in New York City continue remote learning. Only pre-K, 3K, kindergarten, elementary and students with special needs are learning in person given a full public school shutdown in November.

NEW: @NYCHealthSystem has updated locations & hours for covid test sites. Testing in NYC is stagnating, likely in part because everyone is focused on vaccination. But it's more important than ever that you get tested regularly. As always it's no cost, available to all aged 2+. pic.twitter.com/I7njyXtKjY
