Brent ES Modernization

Next SIT Meeting: Tuesday, April 30, 2024, from 5 to 6 pm (Microsoft Teams)

Project Overview 

Brent Elementary School's modernization project shall include full design and construction services for an approximately 94,000-square-foot school facility for Brent ES. The Design-Builder shall design and construct a combination of renovation of the existing and new construction to increase the existing footprint to accommodate the square footage required in the Educational Specifications (“Ed Specs(s)” or “Educational Specifications”) to bring it in line with the District of Columbia Public Schools (“DCPS or “Client Agency”) Ed Specs. 

 

Brent Elementary School is a DCPS public school located in Ward 6. The school currently operates with no parking due to the placement of the trailers. However, the Department requires, at a minimum, that the zoning of minimum parking will be included in the final design. The Design-Builder shall consider the location of the school in the Capitol Hill Historic District when considering the schedule and design approach.
