Another recently delivered project is the $34.6-million renovation at Wheatley Education Campus to modernize the original 1903 building. It included an 18,065-square-foot addition. The District also spent $72.6-million renovation on the Alice "Deal" Middle School located at 3815 Fort Drive, N.W. The expansion accommodates an additional 903 students.
Perhaps the most interesting project is the $50 million renovation at Walker Jones Education Campus. Besides being the first new school construction by the Fenty Administration, the facility anchors the Northwest One community--the District's first combined school, recreation and library facility. It's a 100,000-square-foot K-8 school; a 20,000-square-foot community recreation center; a 5,000-square-foot library and new athletic fields and playgrounds. It also represents the first phase of the $700-million Northwest One New Community project--which will ultimately include new retail, community services, and 1,600 new units of housing.
