The Inspired Teaching Demonstration School (ITDS), located at 200 Douglas Street NE in Washington DC, underwent a major ground-floor renovation designed and delivered by Moya Design Partners. Completed in May 2025, the 13,270-square-foot Design-Build project modernized classrooms, flexible learning areas, and support spaces while maintaining the building’s LEED Gold certification.
The project scope expanded beyond the original 9,880 square feet to include upgrades to 789 square feet of storage rooms and 2,598 square feet of HVAC renovations. The $3 million investment also introduced new AV/IT infrastructure and energy-efficient systems, reinforcing the school’s commitment to sustainability and educational facilities that support 21st-century learning.
Sustainability played a central role in the renovation. MOYA used eco-friendly materials, improved HVAC systems, and high-performance energy solutions to enhance the building’s energy performance while aligning with ITDS’s environmental goals. These upgrades ensure that the school continues to serve as a model for environmentally responsible educational facilities.
MOYA’s completed renovation provides ITDS with modern, student-centered facilities that nurture creativity, collaboration, and academic growth. Through careful coordination and the Design-Build approach, we delivered a project that strengthens ITDS’s mission while advancing design excellence and long-term community impact.
