This project greatly enhanced the campus of this private school, located on the busy street of Wisconsin Avenue in Washington DC.  Scope of the work included the reconfiguration of existing site utilities feeding the upper school to a new below-grade, two-story parking structure.  Synthetic turf was installed on the roof of the garage, replacing the original field, and a new maintenance facility was incorporated into the structure, which will better serve the needs of the school.  The cast-in-place concrete garage will provide much needed parking without visually impacting the school's urban campus and surrounding neighborhood.
