| Sidwell Friends School |
| Washington, D.C. |
Sidwell Friends School is a pre-K to12, co-educational, Quaker day school that founded in 1883. The Middle and Upper Schools are located on a 15-acre campus at 3825 Wisconsin Avenue in the Tenleytown section of Northwest Washington, D.C.
Sidwell’s Middle and Upper School Campus currently is being renovated and expanded, including a renovated and expanded Middle School, a renovated Arts Center, a new gym, a new Quaker Meeting House, and a new underground parking structure beneath an athletic field.
The District of Columbia Board of Zoning Adjustment (BZA) also approved an increase in the enrollment cap from 801 students to 850 students.
Access to and egress from the school will be provided via a new, signalized driveway, opposite Rodman Street. A second point of egress also will be provided via the school’s existing, signalized driveway. This traffic plan will, for the first time, provide full movement access/egress to/from Wisconsin Avenue at two signalized intersections.
Wells + Associates provided the transportation studies and expert witness testimony before the local Advisory Neighborhood Commission (ANC), and BZA that led to these approvals.
Wells + Associates also recommended a Transportation Management Plan (TMP) that encourages carpooling and the use of public transportation for students and faculty/staff and restricts student drop-off/pick-up to two on-site locations and along the Middle School’s frontage on 37th Street. |
