Construction Project Management

The following report contains information and analyses related to HD Woodson Senior High School
located in Washington, DC. The initial sections contain background information and data pertaining to
the project, followed by four analyses created to theoretically study the Constructability, Schedule
Acceleration and Value Engineering of a construction project. The framework for this report is created
by the Architectural Engineering Senior Capstone Thesis course sequence.

Materials will include Brick around the bottom of the building up to a precast banding. The banding will
serve as a transition to oversized masonry panels. Aluminum Cladding is also used for exterior walls and
overhang spaces. Storefront style Glass Walls will also be used throughout HD Woodson High School.
One of the main features of the building will be its Metal Canopy that extends over the Main Entry.

Client Information

District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS) is the client for Howard D. Woodson High School. This school
is the first totally new facility that is being coordinated by the Office of Public Education Facilities
Modernization (OPEFM) within DCPS. Howard D. Woodson High School opened originally in 1972. Prior
to demolition, a nine story white tower was located on the site. The tower was surrounded by a tennis
court, long and triple jump track, pole vault track, football field and parking area. After 30 years of
operation the faculty, students and community deemed it was no longer feasible to be in use.
