Paul Public Charter School is a 135,000 sf renovation and 30,000 sf addition of a former DCPS junior high school.  Located in Northwest Washington DC, the facility modernization effort was geared toward the specialized program developed by Paul PCS founder Cecile Middleton.  The students participate in an integrated multi-disciplinary program of Academics, Arts and Athletics.  While the original school building primarily addresses the academic programming, the addition responds to the arts and athletics needs of the school with a new double gym, dance studio and art center.  The double gym allows for simultaneous use by multiple sport groups, and includes an indoor running track at the gym perimeter.  Other programs housed in the addition include a library, resource center, offices and support space.  A bridge at the second floor connects the addition to the existing building while framing an outdoor classroom situated between it and the addition.  Field work includes a new synthetic turf football field, warm up space and the outdoor classroom.
