The Heights Building is a new and innovative approach to dense, urban parking. Built to address the need for playing fields and extended parking, the project includes the largest possible, lit, synthetic turf field for Arlington Public Schools and the community.

With an inviting and universally accessible path to the main entrance, adjacent to the Shriver Program administrative area, The Heights opens itself up to be a true community resource. The covered, off-street area for student pick-up and drop-off for those with differing abilities allows for all students and members of the community an equitable experience. Convenient handicap parking for staff and visitors is immediately adjacent to a main building entrance.

The Heights project is the only on-site parking within the exclusive control and operation of Arlington Public Schools. Other exciting project features include: stormwater management infrastructure, enhanced covered bicycle facilities for students and visitors that exceed the required standards, secure bicycle facilities specifically for staff, and outdoor equipment storage.
