J.O. Wilson Elementary 

Next Meeting: TBD - Coming Soon

Project Overview

J.O. Wilson Elementary School is a DC Public School located in Ward 6. The modernization will be roughly 93,000 square feet. The redesign will be a combination of renovation of the existing and new construction. Throughout the building, the modernization will address Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. Learning, instruction, and support technology will be brought up to cutting edge standards and capacity. The Project is designed to incorporate LEED for Schools – Gold principles. In addition, the DCPS is requiring the Project become a Net Zero energy building. 

The new modernized design will allow for physical education (gym) and dining services (cafeteria) to take place simultaneously during the school day. 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.
