Centerbrook is designing a new 25,000-square-foot building at Episcopal High School in suburban Northern Virginia. The school is well known for its handsome campus and Georgian architectural tradition.

The new building will replace an existing three-story structure in order to fullfill the School’s desire for state-of-the-art classrooms, a new servery and kitchen, ample gathering spaces, and accessibility for the handicapped.

The building is a new icon structure in the campus’s Georgian style. It presides, Janus-like, over the west half of the campus, looking in the opposite compass direction from the east-facing, ante-bellum Hoxton House, the School’s most historic building.

The Academic West Wing is slated for LEED Silver certification.
