A public/private partnership to develop a new school and a multifamily building containing 211 rental units on school land. The overcrowded and deteriorated James F. Oyster Bilingual Elementary School was replaced with a new building constructed on an urban infill site in the Woodley Park neighborhood of Washington, D.C., that was designed to be highly efficient and accommodate 50 additional students. The 47,158-square-foot (4,381-square-meter) state-of-the-art facility includes a computer lab, a library, a gym, a 33-car garage for school staff, and office space for after-school programs. Henry Adams House is a luxury apartment building that features a concierge service, a fitness center, a business center, a party room, and underground parking.
