Westgate Elementary School Renovations

Owner:  Fairfax County Public Schools

Location:  Falls Church, Virginia

Project amount: $15 million

Westgate Elementary School Renovation project in Falls Church, Virginia, added an administrative office, library, and class space, and renovate existing classrooms, a cafeteria, and a gymnasium. With the new additions, Westgate Elementary was one of the first schools to meet the Virginia Collaborative for High Performance Standards (CHPS). CHPS was adapted as a state-specific system aimed at making schools more energy-efficient and environment-friendly while maintaining a comfortable learning space for students.

The school features an outdoor learning space with a white roof that can be used for student gardens. The new classrooms allow for rainwater harvesting and include a sundial to teach students in a more environmentally conscious manner.  The project was completed in the summer of 2015.
