The Heights is Arlington’s newest architectural feat
Northern Virginia magazine interviewed LEO A DALY’s Andrew Graham, AIA, about the eye-catching new secondary school

The dual school, which opened its doors for the fall 2019 school year, sets the stage for the next iteration of both successful programs.

The building itself is certainly a standout in the changing Rosslyn cityscape. But it wasn’t designed simply for the wow factor, says Casey Robinson, H-B Woodlawn’s principal. Instead, education experts and the building’s architects, LEO A DALY and Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), worked hand in hand to let the design enhance the curriculum.
