This Master Plan proposes a diverse mix of uses
for a portion of the former Maximum Security Prison Facility in Lorton, Virginia.
Programmed elements include; a Junior College campus with adaptive reuse dormitories
and classrooms, two and three story apartment/condominium buildings, townhomes;
the adaptive reuse of the prison power plant into a restaurant, historical residence
renovation, existing baseball field and bleacher renovation, and the creation
of retail and office space. The major challenges confronted by the design team
included balancing the adaptive reuse with new construction while maintaining
the historical character of the site, balancing future tenants and infrastructure
with fee simple housing, integrating vehicular circulation and parking while
organizing the site for pedestrian circulation, and providing pedestrian linkages
to an existing public trail.
