Davis Construction Corporation Certain proprietary materials and information are retained exclusively in the Confidential Binder pursuant to Va. Code Ann. 56-575.4(G) and 2.2-3705.6(11B) Executive Summary Mason Greens will transform the existing George Mason High School and the Mary Ellen Henderson Middle School campus into a dynamic, mixed- use community that achieves all of the objectives presented by the City of Falls Church and the Falls Church City School Board. Vision and Program The transformation begins by replacing and relocating the obsolete high school and expanding the middle school with modern facilities meeting the tests of best practices, design excellence and sustainability. The new high school will be constructed on the western portion of the campus in a compact, elegant and efficient design. This approach will best avoid disruption to existing students’ educational experience while also delivering facilities more quickly and at lower cost. The program will result in vastly improving the respective schools operating effectiveness and efficiencies, thereby ensuring the high standards of community are met well into the 21st Century. Following the new school construction the former high school site will be harvested for a mixed-use development. Importantly, the guiding vision of Mason Greens plan is predicated on an understanding that its relationship with the schools, and indeed the greater Falls Church community, is mutually beneficial and supportive. It intentionally incorporates playing fields, parks and open spaces as common elements. Gymnasium and performing art theatre facilities are located and designed to foster community co-use after classroom hours. RFP NO. 0730-15-GMHS-PPEA | THE CITY OF FALLS CHURCH AND FALLS CHURCH CITY SCHOOL BOARD 1 Executive Summary, continued This approach recognizes that Falls Church’s greatest asset is its people. Increasingly, retaining and attracting highly creative and productivecitizens requires an environment that integrates employment spaces with living places, shopping with dining, recreation with continuing education, and providing transportation choices -- making places where people want to live and work, and to come to share in the experience. In keeping with that vision, the project’s buildings are organized around the new George Mason’s soccer field and the aquatics center that transforms into community recreation facilities when not being used by the schools. The mixed use buildings will be five stories over podia to capture economic benefit while increasing open space. The Haycock Road, at grade, frontage will be primarily commercial and employment uses, with sidewalk level restaurants and shops with office and hotel use on upper floors. Flanking the soccer pitch will be diversified residential offerings of active aging, assisted living as well as market rate housing. This program will provide Falls Church’s 55 and over households an opportunity to transition from single-family homes and to continue to be involved in their community as well as younger persons and couples to find housing in their town. A final mixed-use tower will be located on the north end of the campus between the schools campus and the West Falls Church Metro Station and garage, providing a transition space between it and that redevelopment sector when it comes on line. Development Team and Approach Mason Greens will be developed by a venture between two of the metropolitan area’s leading real estate firms: Republic Properties Corporation and the James G. Davis Construction Corporation. Republic has developed some of the region’s most innovative, complex and successful commercial and mixed use projects, including Potomac Mills, Georgetown Park, Washington Harbor, Market Square and the Portals to name a few. Republic is proud that many of its projects involve public-private partnerships. Republic will have lead responsibility for redevelopment of the former high school site into a vibrant mixed use project. DAVIS has constructed commercial, institutional and residential buildings through- out the region and beyond, for five decades. It enjoys a great reputation for integrity, craftsmanship, safety and on-time/on-budget delivery. Its education contracting division has extensive experience with ground-up, additions and renovation projects. DAVIS will have lead

Vietnamese Americans have made places for themselves in Northern Virginia by reconfiguringthe geography of the suburban places they inherited, including former high-order central-placenodes.

  • Libraries, Technology, and the Route to Relevance Facilities Master
    Volume 5, Issue 2 Get the latest industry news and trends: ​ ​ ​ Libraries, Technology, And The Route To Relevance By better aligning their services to community needs, they can target inequities and support economic opportunity Cameron Chavira Like the footings beneath the shelves they line, books have traditionally formed the foundation of the services that public libraries offer their communities. However, with the shift from print to digital publishing, libraries face a battle in maintaining their status as bastions for learning, community engagement, workforce development and citizenship. This challenge has not gone unnoticed by local-government budget-writers, who are increasingly likely to cut funding for libraries in favor of more "necessary" departments and programs. Nevertheless, library professionals remain hopeful that technology will help moderate inequities in areas such as access to information, educational achievement and economic opportunity. But to successfully leverage technology to this effect, we must make sure that those who make funding decisions see libraries not as stuffy stacks of yellowing pages but as modern community learning centers. This can be achieved through thoughtful assessment and partnership. Here's how: First, libraries need to identify service gaps by evaluating the needs of their users against the services they provide. Technology can be a great help here, given the variety of data-driven mapping tools now available to help shape precise community profiles. These tools, typically employed for purposes of planning and zoning, offer libraries a detailed dissection of a neighborhood's demographics, including education level, family composition and transit information. Once libraries have this profile defined, they can assess how their services align with the community's needs.

  • George Mason Cheerleading
    Fall 2012 George Mason Cheerleading Dear Parents and Students, Your son/daughter has expressed an interest in becoming a member of the George Mason High School cheerleading squad for the fall 2012 season. It is very important that you and your student share the responsibility. Cheerleading is a sport that requires extensive time and dedication and all members are expected to commit fully. If together you feel it is too much to ask, encourage your student not to try out. However, if you feel the commitment can be made, please support and encourage them in every way ☺ If your student is selected for the GMHS cheerleading squad, his/her work schedules, doctor appointments, vacations, etc., MUST be coordinated so that they do NOT interfere with our scheduled events. It is vital that your student attend all practices, camps, games, etc. Cheerleading is a team activity and the absence of a team member does not only affect your student, but the team as a whole. Please consider this before you allow you son/daughter to try out for the team. My goal as a coach is to encourage the following qualities in every cheerleader: good sportsmanship, good manners, mature and responsible behavior, cooperative attitude and an awareness of fulfilling one’s obligations. I hold VERY HIGH EXPECTATIONS of our cheerleaders and expect them to be model students, as they are being chosen to represent George Mason High School. You and the student will need to read through this packet and complete the following for clinics/tryouts: • VHSL Physical • Online Application at www.surveymonkey.com/s/GMCheerFall12 • Tryout Permission Slip • Impact Testing Permission Slip o Due to the summer schedule, all participants will complete the Impact Test the week of clinics/tryouts.
