1000 5th Street SE -- Temporary Location


Capitol Hill Day School's facilities will move to a temporary location, 1000 5th Street, SE, five blocks from the Dent School, during the building renovation period. In many respects erecting modular classrooms on this presently vacant lot is as significant a challenge as renovating the historic Dent Building.

The Swing Space Project Management Team, Christopher Regan, Project Manager, on left, David A. Etzel, Sales Specialist, Mobile Modular Rents, and Jim Woolwine, Business Manager, Capitol Hill Day School, meet on a weekly basis to coordinate the site prep and mobile unit installation.

Jason Gray, Head of School, has reviewed the available space with faculty and has assigned modular space to the curricular units.

We are working on the gamut from utilities (PEPCO, DC WASA), civil engineering plan (Vika, Inc.), to include many others that will be featured in future blog entries. The critical path to install the modular units by late July - early August also includes obtaining a zoning variance and several permits from the District of Columbia.
