Browne Education Campus

Project Overview

Browne Education Campus is a DC Public School located in Ward 5. The existing facility is made up of wings built in stages between 1932 and 1971. The project is a 127,000 square-foot modernization that will update all but the 1953 wing of the existing building, and will include a new gym and updated playground. The project showcases DCPS' commitment to sustainability and student well-being by pursuing both LEED Gold and WELL certifications. The modernized Browne Education Campus will be opening its doors to students, staff and the Browne community in phases, with Phase I scheduled for completion in December 2024 and Phase II in Summer 2025.
