The modernization of the Kiger A. Savoy Elementary is getting close to completion -- and both the MLK and Shannon Place buildings are looking great!

On MLK is the new new 26,000-square-foot community center to be opened in partnership with the DC Department of Parks and Recreation, which will include a full-sized gymnasium with bleachers, stage, separate storage rooms and offices, locker rooms, and a fitness room. (and they built it right up against the street - woohoo!)

I've been really impressed with this project and look forward to seeing the final product. I believe the school is supposed to open for this upcoming school year - and it looks like the community center couldn't be that far behind.

Did you say gym? a gym for all Ward 8 residents or just for the school I wonder....
WOW!!
I wanna say for all residents -- but need to get confirmation on that. My guess is that it will serve a similar function as the Hillcrest Rec Center.
This section of MLK will look completely different (better).
When added to the Big Chair MLK area, things will start transforming quickly.
I walk pass this spot every day...It's going to a great spot for the residents of Anacostia.
WE NEED MORE!!!
