The Deal Middle School expansion at 3815 Fort Dr NW, Washington, DC, is an $18.5 million design-build project led by MOYA Design Partners, in collaboration with Ashley McGraw Architects and Chiaramonte Construction. Scheduled for completion in 2024, the 22,500-square-foot expansion will enhance the school’s facilities while preserving its historic character, nearly 120 years old.

The project includes 12 modern classrooms, two advanced science labs, an expanded dining area, and additional administrative spaces. Designed to complement the existing architecture, the new structures seamlessly blend with the school’s historic aesthetic.

A key feature is the upgraded central courtyard, intended to serve as a hub for community engagement, collaboration, and outdoor learning. Targeting LEED Gold certification, the design incorporates sustainable features like bioswales.

MOYA has worked closely with DC Public Schools (DCPS) and the Department of General Services (DGS) to ensure the project meets community needs and enriches the educational experience in DC’s Ward 3.
