Upcoming SIT Meetings: Schematics Design Feedback

Location: Virtual through Teams

Project Overview


Malcolm X Elementary School is a DC Public School located in Ward 8. The modernization will be roughly 63,000 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 shall be designed in such a way to incorporate, at a minimum, LEED for Schools – Gold principles. In addition, the Department is requiring the Project become a Net Zero energy building. The new modernized design shall 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. The project will place the building in-line with the District of Columbia Public Schools (“DCPS”) Educational Specification district-wide standard which requires "all schools and campuses to have the space and resources necessary for effective instruction."
