SMART DESIGN: DC’S DUNBAR HIGH SCHOOL
September 10, 2014 | 6:00 – 7:30 PM (the tour will start promptly at 6:00)
While NW DC’s Dunbar HS has a reputation as one of the region’s best known historically African-American high schools, for many years the school’s design and layout were far from an urban gem. All that changed last year, with the unveiling of the new Dunbar – with a green design more welcoming to the community, abundant natural light, a LEED platinum rating, and a much smaller footprint on a reconnected street grid.
Come hear from the building’s designers and local school and community representatives about how smart growth design principles can transform not only a building but the surrounding neighborhood as well.
Our tours are active, so please wear sturdy shoes and sunscreen, and bring a water bottle!
