MTFA is proud to be the project architect on a truly groundbreaking project - literally!

This week, Goodwill of Greater Washington and Affordable Homes & Communities (AHC) broke ground on a first-of-its-kind redevelopment at 10 South Glebe Road in Arlington, VA. The project will bring 128 affordable family apartments, a modernized Goodwill flagship store, an onsite childcare center, approximately 30 new jobs, and the first segment of the Arlington Blvd Multi-Use Trail - all on one site.

This is the first co-location of Goodwill and affordable housing in the nation, and we couldn't be more honored to play a role in making it a reality for the families who will call it home.

PROJECT UPDATE:
Gallaudet University’s Research & Innovation Hub

Our work on the Merril Learning Center project is in progress. Selective demolition is paving the way for a sustainable and innovative space that fosters collaboration and learning—preserving the building’s significance while ensuring its functionality for future generations. MTFA has collaborated closely with Gallaudet University and Fletcher Consulting, among others, to adaptively reuse this significant campus asset that will enhance the overall campus experience for students and faculty. Upper levels of the building will be removed and replaced with a welcoming, landscaped plaza and a light-filled atrium. Lower levels will undergo renovation and revitalization, creating a modern, engaging learning space. Stay tuned for more updates!
