JAIR LYNCH Development Partners served as development manager for the design and construction of a 40,000 square foot addition to Southeast Elementary Academy, a Friendship Public Charter School located in the Congress Heights neighborhood of Southeast Washington D.C. The addition was completed to accommodate approximately 550 students in grades K-6. The extensive renovation of the existing building, a 22,000 square foot former Safeway, was completed in less than forty days, enabling the new Friendship campus to open on time for the 2005-2006 academic year. It remained open during construction of the addition, which was completed in August 2007 in time for the beginning of the 2007-2008 academic year. Amenities include a full-service kitchen, cafeteria, administrative offices, additional classrooms, a SmartLab, library, and gymnasium.
What's nearby?
JAIR LYNCH has had an ongoing presence in the Congress Heights, neighborhood located less than 10 minutes from downtown Washington. Places to work like the Unified Communications Center and places to play like the Southeast Tennis and Learning Center are examples of JAIR LYNCH's commitment to the neighborhood, not to mention Friendship Technology Preparatory Public Charter School, which JAIR LYNCH is currently developing on behalf of Friendship. Moreover, several JAIR LYNCH residential projects are within walking distance of the project site, which means residents of Royal Courts and Savannah Heights will have another quality school to consider for their children.
