New school, new life for Camden building

CAMDEN, N.J. (WPVI) -- A charter school in Camden, New Jersey is bringing new life into an old building.

Students got to check out the Doctor Gloria Bonilla-Santiago Campus Wednesday.

It's a STEAM school, which means teachers will focus on science, technology, engineering, arts, and math.

LEAP Academy University also built a caf and a health and wellness center, which are open to the public.

All of this is inside the 12 story Wilson building, which was the city's first skyscraper.
