Parks and Recreation Projects
WMC has been involved in the development of indoor and outdoor athletic/recreation facilities in the Mid-Atlantic region. These facilities include both public and private sites that required the consideration for the effect the facility would have on the local environment and community members.
DC United Stadium
Washington, DC
WMC provided extensive land surveying services for the highly anticipated stadium in the recently revitalized Southwest Waterfront area of Washington, DC. The stadium will be located on a 13-acre parcel of land on the corner of Half Street, SE. and Potomac Avenue, SE. The newly constructed stadium will be a 20,000 seat soccer venue that is LEED certified.
Specific land survey services that were provided by the WMC team included:

Specific land survey services that were provided by the WMC team included:
- Boundary Survey to establish the corners of a parcel of land
- Topographic Survey to identify and map the contours of the ground and existing features on the surface of the earth (or slightly above or below the earth's surface) which can include trees, buildings, streets, walkways, manholes, utility poles, retaining walls, etc.
- Utility Survey to identify and label public utility mains that are underground
- Survey to Mark to establish the property corner markers and recordation of the survey
- Utility Designation to locate mapping of underground utilities
- Utility Test Pits to determine the size, depth, material, condition, and horizontal and vertical position of the utility infrastructure
Wizards Practice Facility
Washington, DC
WMC has been selected to be on the design team for the development of a traing for the Wizards basketball team on the historic St. Elizabeth's campus. The project involves the revitalization of the current historic structure. Once complete the facility will include additional spaces for the community to utilize.

Washington Tennis & Education Foundation
Washington, DC
In effort to accommodate children in underserved neighborhoods of Washington DC, Washington Tennis & Education Foundation has decided to build a tennis facility that is located on a seven acre Southeast Washington DC site that enables their students to play year around in an indoor facility. The site contains six indoor hard courts and nine outdoor courts, 1,500 sq ft community room, five classrooms, weight/exercise room with locker rooms, and staff space.
WMC provided landscape architecture and civil engineering services for this project. Scope of services for this project included, site layout, grading, terracing, as well as pedestrian and vehicular flow. Careful layout of the pedestrian paths is an important factor for this project in order to allow accessible access to all parts of the facility on this site consisting of great elevation change. An entry plaza was designed for use as a drop off and gathering zone that can support emergency vehicle access when required. The integration of bio-retention planting is also being implemented to reduce the amount of stormwater leaving the site.

Walter Reed Community Center
Arlington, VA
WMC participated in the design for the development of a newly constructed Walter Reed Community and Senior Center in Arlington, Virginia. The 30,000 sq ft community and senior center included a new recreational facility, basketball courts, community gardens, extensive green roof system, tennis courts, and expansion of the parking area. The center’s concept design was designed to service the surrounding neighborhoods and includes a unique feature of services for the citizens of the community, including senior adults, with a broader draw than the immediate communities. The community was involved in the design process for this project which included coordination from WMC.

William Ramsay Recreation Center
Alexandria, VA
WMC participated in this project on a site measuring 16.9 acres located in Alexandria in Virginia. The scope of work included the design of a new Community Recreation Center and the expansion of the original facility located adjacent to the William Ramsey Elementary School. The new larger facility was designed to accommodates a larger number of community residents and offer a more diversified program. This one story recreation/community center addition replaces the existing recreation center and consists of a gym, fitness room, dance room, computer room, art room, multi-purpose room, and a game room. The outdoor facilities include two hard courts and a playground. A “drop-off” driveway was added with two adjacent handicapped parking spaces, as well as, twelve additional parking spaces in the main parking lot.
The new 18,150 sq ft facility was designed to have separate, water, storm, sanitary and electric utilities from the existing school and connecting to the existing utilities along Sanger Avenue. A stormceptor was incorporated to satisfy the requirements for stormwater management quantity controls and waiver calculations were supplied for stormwater management quantity control.

5th and I Street, NW Parks
Arlington, VA
WMC provided conceptual landscape architecture design services for two parks located in the Mount Vernon Triangle District of NW Washington DC. The parks, Milian Park and Seaton Park, are tied to a larger redevelopment initiative by the district to improve the neighborhood. The project involves tying redevelopment of a new mixed-use building to public amenities on I Street, and Massachusetts Ave. The park concept would feature a mixture of interactive and passive spaces that engage the users of the new mixed-use building and the neighborhood community as a whole.
