FALLS CHURCH, Va. – The Falls Church city school board recently selected the Design-Build team of Gilbane, Stantec and Quinn Evans Architects for the new $108-million George Mason High School in Falls Church, Virginia.
The selection of the Design-Build team comes after the Falls Church community approved a referendum to build the new high school in November 2017, after 10 years of document reviews, community meetings and feasibility studies. The construction of the new building will be the final milestone in the process. The team’s design was selected because it not only addressed the community’s top priorities, but also incorporated sustainable elements, flexible and collaborative learning spaces, community accessibility, robust safety and security measures and compatibility with the upcoming adjacent 10-acre private development site planned as a vibrant mixed-use community.
The proposed exterior design of the new George Mason High School combines modern materials with traditional brick for a contemporary aesthetic that will stand the test of time. Interiors are also designed with an eye toward tomorrow with flexible floorplans that provide security, efficiency and adaptability to support programs and educational needs as they evolve. Students and teachers are offered a variety of spaces — informed by the priorities of flexibility, visual transparency and natural daylighting — to create an academic setting that encourages creative thought, community building and individual growth.
