About this file
This is an Educational Specifications document prepared by the District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS) for the design and construction of Hendley Elementary School, a modernization project under the jurisdiction of the District of Columbia Department of General Services (DGS). The document provides comprehensive space programming and design standards for an approximately 79,575 square-foot elementary school facility designed to serve 325 to 700 students across multiple grade levels (PK-3 through Grade 5). The specifications detail requirements for academic core areas, library facilities, visual arts, performing arts, physical education, administrative spaces, health services, student dining, and building services. The project includes the design and renovation of existing structures combined with new construction, along with outdoor play areas, educational gardens, a turf field (minimum U-8 size), parking, loading facilities, and site fencing. The Educational Specifications document establishes detailed space requirements, adjacency relationships, furnishing specifications, and environmental considerations for each functional area, with square footage allocations that scale based on student enrollment capacity at 325, 400, 500, and 700 student levels.
The specifications provide prescriptive guidance on fixed and loose furnishings, technology infrastructure requirements, and environmental design standards including lighting, ventilation, acoustic treatments, and accessibility compliance with ADA guidelines. Key academic spaces include multiple classroom configurations for early childhood (PK-3/PK-4/Kindergarten/Grade 1), general education (Grades 2-5), and self-contained special education programs, along with specialized instructional spaces such as specials labs, resource rooms, speech/OT/PT therapy rooms, sensory rooms, and outdoor classrooms. Support spaces encompass a media center with makerspace capabilities, visual and performing arts facilities, a gymnasium with multipurpose stage, administrative offices, health services, parent resource centers, and staff collaboration areas. The document notes that specific square footage requirements and space quantities will be finalized during the site-specific design phase with DCPS approval, and indicates that certain spaces are optional pending program availability or site conditions, requiring coordination with DCPS throughout the design-build process.
