Join Architects and Sustainability Specialists from Perkins Eastman for a tour of DC Public Schools' Bard High School Early College! Opened in 2022, the school is DC's first adaptive reuse, net-zero energy ready modernization. Located at the current site of the former Malcolm X Elementary School, the full modernization of the Bard High School Early College was completed in two phases, which included renovating a portion of the existing facility, as well as constructing a new addition. The goal for this modernization was to provide a cutting-edge facility that promotes the intellectual challenges of a college education and facilitates academic excellence.

Inspired by the idea of creating a diverse “learning landscape,” the design of the new Bard High School is comprised of an array of innovative indoor and outdoor places that afford a wide range of educational activities and that connect literally and metaphorically to Bard’s mission and vision. To achieve this, our team developed organizational and design principles drawn from extensive interaction and conversations with faculty and administrators. These principles created a vision for a campus that will inspire Bard students to succeed in the 21st Century.
