SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:

Eagle Academy PCS at McGogney is a full renovation and addition to a former DCPS school. The 92,000 sf project accommodates 900 students. The new building exterior is composed primarily of polycarbonate multiwall sheets, creating a lantern eect and neighborhood icon. The three-story, L-shaped addition houses a pool room on its lowest level, a gymnasium above, and several other spaces, including a new entry level for the school, a community room, school sta oces, a library and reading rooms, a computer lab, a music room, an exercise room, locker rooms for the pool and gymnasium, and additional support spaces. Reinforcing the school’s status as a community asset, the pool and gymnasium can be accessed by neighbors after school hours. The renovation of the existing structure included the installation of new exterior glazing and interior transformation. The existing building is devoted primarily to classrooms.
