This $45M modernization of an existing 1960's school along the Watts Creek Branch of the Anacostia River adds approximately 24,000 SF to a renovated historic 4 story structure of 50,000SF. The improved PreK-5 school upgrades current operations and replaces an undersized multipurpose space with new Gymnasium, Library and Cafeteria with a full Child Development Center. A robust public arts program and extensive site improvements will connect toward the natural setting of the school and includes a south facing outdoor terrace at the 2nd floor.
