The Diocese of Arlington will partner with premier
architectural and development firms as it proceeds with the
relocation of Paul VI Catholic High School from its
18-acre campus in Fairfax to its new 68-acre campus in South
Riding.
The diocese selected VMDO Architects, a leader in school
design and sustainable architecture, to design Paul VI’s new
campus in Loudoun County.
“Our students deserve a facility that is as exceptional as
they are. I look forward to working with VMDO on a design for
our campus that is inspiring to all,” said Ginny Colwell,
principal of Paul VI.
A subsequent phase of design will include consultative
meetings between the architectural firm and select committees
from the Paul VI community.
“It is important that we honor our past as we plan for the
future of PVI,” Colwell said. “We are thrilled to begin this
working relationship and to capture the vision that our
community has for PVI’s future. VMDO is committed to engaging
our community, identifying our needs, and preserving our
unique culture, mission and vision.”
The diocese will partner with the IDI Group Companies for the
redevelopment of the current Paul VI site in Fairfax. The IDI
Group Companies specialize in the development of residential
properties and mixed-use projects throughout the Washington
metro area. They recently obtained approval from the city of
Fairfax to develop a residential condominium property at the
Mantua Professional Center.
“As the Paul VI community looks forward to transitioning to
its new campus in Loudoun County, I am pleased that the City
of Fairfax has such a respected and skillful developer in
IDI. We are pleased that the site will remain in such capable
hands,” said Arlington Bishop Paul S. Loverde.
