The Heights Building opens as a cascade of green terraces fanning from a central axis, addressing the academic needs of Arlington\u2019s two county-wide school programs while forming a vertical community within its dense urban context. Located along Arlington\u2019s Rosslyn-Ballston corridor, The Heights merges two existing secondary schools \u2013 the H-B Woodlawn Program and the Eunice Kennedy Shriver Program \u2013 into a new 180,000sf building to accommodate an expected enrollment of up to 775 students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working closely with Arlington Public Schools (APS), WRAP (West Rosslyn Area Plan) and the Arlington community, the design supports both H-B Woodlawn\u2019s focus on trust and self-governance and Shriver\u2019s extensive resources for students with specialized educational needs. The Heights is currently on track to achieve LEED Gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Situated within a compact urban site bounded by roads on three sides and a portion of Rosslyn Highlands Park, The Heights is conceived as a stack of five rectangular floorplates that rotate around a fixed pivot point, maintaining the community feeling and spatial efficiencies of a one-story school. Green terraces above each floor become an extension of the classroom, creating an indoor-outdoor learning landscape for both students and teachers \u2014 an educational oasis rather than a traditional school setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A rotating central staircase cuts through the interior of the building to connect the four-tiered terraces, allowing students to circulate outside and forge a stronger bond between the neighborhood and the school. While the upper terraces are more suitable for intimate classes and quiet study areas, the spacious first terrace and 18,700sf recreation field also serve as public event venues for school-wide and neighborhood activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Wilson Boulevard, students, teachers and staff are greeted by a triple-height lobby with stepped seating that double as an indoor gathering space for both student assemblies and public gatherings. Many of the school\u2019s common spaces, including the 400-seat auditorium, main gymnasium, library, reception and cafeteria, are centrally located and directly adjacent to the lobby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Easy accessibility to the community-oriented programs hosted in the school encourages public interaction throughout the building, creating a welcoming environment while heightening the visual connectivity between the shared spaces. Other specialized student spaces include an art studio, science and robotic labs, music rehearsal rooms and two performing arts theaters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The classroom bars serve as the primary organizing elements, surrounding a central vertical core that contains the elevators, stairs and bathrooms. As students enter from the central staircase, they are greeted by an expanded gradient of the color spectrum: each classroom bar is defined by its own color, combining intuitive wayfinding with a vibrant social atmosphere from the ground to the sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Shriver Program providing special education for students aged 11 to 22 occupy two floors of the building accessible from the ground floor, and have specialized spaces dedicated to support APS\u2019 Functional Life Skills program as well as privacy and ease of accessibility: the gymnasium, courtyard, occupational physical therapy suite and sensory cottage are designed to aid in sensory processing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Heights\u2019 exterior is materialized in a graceful white glazed brick to unify the five volumes and highlight the oblique angles of the fanning classroom bars, allowing the sculptural form, the energy and the activity of the inside to take center stage. In keeping the surrounding neighborhood and former Wilson School in mind, the building\u2019s material palette pays homage to the historical architecture of Old Town Alexandria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
