Living Classrooms Featured in Washington Business Journal Philanthropy Issue
DATEJune 24, 2025
Washington Business Journal highlighted Living Classrooms in its philanthropy issue earlier this month. We're delighted to see this project advancing, as it has been a passionate pursuit for Brian Pilot, principal in the STUDIOS DC office.
The Living Classrooms site is located in The Yards, an iconic riverfront community in Southeast DC. The mixed-use neighborhood is anchored by Nationals Ballpark, Yards Marina, and the vibrant Yards Park as well as two of our award-winning projects, Estate at the Yards and the Thompson Hotel DC. The Living Classrooms site is located at the southeast portion of Yards Park adjacent to the historic Washington Navy Yard and perched on the edge of the Anacostia River.
