summary of TJWG charge 1. Retain the current wooded eastern end of “TJ Park” as is. 2. Maintain a cohesive park; ensure no significant loss of green space and no net loss of recreational programming. 3. Consider the neighborhood impacts of traffic and parking and ensure safety of existing pedestrian walkways and bikeways. 4. Ensure that the community center would remain available for use. 5. Ensure the building massing is compatible with adjacent neighborhood .

going beyond the charge 1. Improve site amenities for the County Fair and other events. 2. Plan now for potential expansion of middle school to 1,300 students, including traffic and parking issues. 3. Coordinate prominent entrances to middle school, new school, community center and theater. 4. Coordinate prominent entrances to middle school, new school and community amenities

public land for schools Land area greater than 3.5 acres An existing school site adjacent to more than one acre of County Board owned property Close to transit Centrally located within County Arlington County Board, May 13, 2014

advantages of joint use Many of the “core” spaces already exist, allowing for an efficient K-5 building. (auditorium, gym, fields) K-8 campus allows flexibility as cohorts change.

program assumptions 725 student K-5 school will be a 120,000 gsf building. (perhaps as low as 100,000 gsf) Middle school will eventually expand by 25,000 gsf to accommodate 1,300 students. No funding in current CIP for MS expansion, but master planning for it now. Conservative assumptions on GSF in order to do a good test fit of building footprints and massing
