Herndon Offices Transformed into Classroom Space
JLL negotiated the lease and managed the construction of the buildout to transform nearly 40,000 square feet within two tech park buildings into usable space for classrooms, offices and testing rooms for Fairfax County Public Schools in Herndon, VA.
JLL represented the tenant, Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS), the largest public school system in Virginia, in site selection and lease execution through its brokerage service, including the 33,186-square-foot original lease and a 6,366-square-foot expansion. JLL’s Project and Development Services (PDS) group managed the project from design through occupancy.
The JLL Brokerage team representing FCPS included John Gibb, managing director, tenant representation. JLL’s PDS team was led by VP Cheryl Russ.
“What’s really exciting about this project is that it is an adaptive reuse of office space for a school,” Gibb said. “As urban environments get built up, we are left with limited space for building new educational institutions.”
