Next SIT Meeting: TBD
Project Overview
The modernized Garfield Elementary School building will be roughly 70,300 square feet. The school will receive a full modernization to bring it up to DCPS educational specifications. Throughout the building, the modernization will address Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and code requirements. Learning, instruction, and support technology will be brought up to cutting edge standards and capacity. The new modernized design shall allow for physical education and dinning services along with discovery commons spaces, small group rooms, and resource rooms will be integrated into design to accommodate special projects, collaborative work, and individual pull-out instruction.
The modernized facility will serve approximately 363 students. As part of the design process, the design team will work closely with the school leadership, various DCPS Central Office departments, the Garfield Elementary School-specific School Improvement Team (SIT) along with the wider community to better understand community vision and the unique Garfield Elementary School culture.
