The LEED Gold certified 121,000-SF facility features sloped ceilings, daylight harvesting, occupancy sensor control light fixtures, light louvers, ground heat exchange, and rainwater reuse. Manassas Park Elementary School was awarded MCGraw-Hill Construction’s Mid-Atlantic Construction Best of 2009 – K-12 Project of the Year.
