Workshop for High Performance Architecture PLLC (WHiP Architecture) performed a K-12 Facilities Maintenance Study for E.L. Haynes Public Charter School in Washington, DC in 2017. On this project, WHiP Architecture and its consultants provided an assessment of and recommendations for the school’s short-, mid-, and long-term facilities-related maintenance needs at the school’s two campuses, located at 4501 Kansas Ave NW (elementary and high school) and 3600 Georgia Ave NW (middle school). This study included assessing the expected timeline of renewal and/or replacement of building elements and major equipment. E.L.
