The NYPD’s former Manhattan police academy building is being transformed into a shelter for hundreds of migrants as the city struggles to house the growing number of asylum seekers entering the Big Apple, The Post has learned.

Officials with the Office of Emergency Management were spotted on Thursday night setting up rows upon rows of green cots inside the first-floor gym of the Gramercy Park facility in preparation for an influx of up to 500 migrants.

Four buses of migrants arrived at the ad hoc shelter at separate times early Friday morning.

One source said the living arrangements would be in place for at least a week.

The old academy is no longer used for training, but law enforcement sources told The Post that a select number of police bosses still use the indoor shooting range — raising security concerns among some members of the force.

That's right down near where I used to live in Stuyvesant Town.  Just another reason to be glad we moved out years ago.
