Fourteen #glulam beams helped make Truesdell Elementary School a structural first for DC Public Schools. Each approximately 73 feet long, the beams support a seven-inch cross-laminated timber deck spanning the school’s new double-height gymnasium and dining commons. Together with a conventional steel-braced frame, the system forms the centerpiece of DCPS’s first completed #masstimber project.
This milestone is part of a much broader modernization that brought together the renovation of a nearly century-old school, a new academic wing, community-oriented activity spaces, and a net-zero energy design.
The transformation is featured in “Academic Advancement” in the Summer 2026 edition of ArchitectureDC.
SK&A Structural Engineers was delighted to serve as structural engineer, working alongside the @DCDGS, @dcpublicschools, @vmdoarchitects , Blue Skye Construction and Development, DC, and @CoakleyWilliams.

Today, Mayor Bowser joined DOES and DGS to celebrate the grand opening of the new state-of-the-art DC Infrastructure Academy training center at the historic Spingarn HS where DC residents will launch careers in fields like construction, energy, and transportation.
DC Department of General Services retweeted
There is no bigger priority than making sure DC residents from all eight wards can be a part of the prosperity that we are building in this city.
Since launching, the DC Infrastructure Academy has helped thousands of DC residents gain skills, find jobs, and build careers that support their families.
Today, we celebrated the final stage of the $74 million renovation at the historic Spingarn—where we can expand opportunities and build on that momentum.
