Development Profile:

Begun in 1911, the Grant Building was built as a barracks, mess hall, and recreation center. It has been a dormitory for members of the military who served in the Civil War, World Wars I and II, and the Korean War. In an effort to reduce operating costs for the US Government, this Renaissance-revival stone building was planned to become an educational facility for District of Columbia charter schools. The three-story building, which recently housed Smithsonian Institution artifacts, would accommodate 1,100 students in multi-purpose flexible classrooms. The building will also be engineered to include a library, cafeteria, indoor sports facility, and administrative space.

In addition to saving $300,000 per year in operating expenses incurred by the federal government, this building was designed to be a model for an educational campus incorporating intergenerational activities.
