High school students at the Lab School of Washington face learning difficulties like dyslexia and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder that can make it challenging to follow a normal curriculum. But they also face the additional challenges of a cramped, aging school building, where former dormitories serve as classrooms and students regularly have to work in the hall.

The school is building a new high school wing on its 4759 Reservoir Road campus. The new wing along Whitehaven Parkway — plus a new story added to an existing arts building on campus — will provide new amenities and much more space for high-schoolers, and it will also free up room for the middle-schoolers to spread out into the former high school space.
