PROJECT
The site of the McMillan Reservoir is an important part of the city. Its key location within the extended boundaries of the city as envisioned by the McMillan Commissions Plan of 1901 and its concomitant demonstration of the inuence of the City Beautiful Movement on civic works is implicitly tied to its vital role in the technological advancement of the District of Columbia public health. However, the site enjoys a setting that over the years has grown to include various neighborhoods, institutions, landscapes, and infrastructure. This duality allows an understanding of the property from two distinctly different vantage points.. First, the site and its physical characteristics can be examined as a unique design largely the result of the water purication technology of the nineteenth century and organized to be efcient and promote public health through clean drinking water. Conversely, the site can be viewed absent the presence of the McMillan complex and through the lens of the adjacent neighborhoods, institutions, landscapes, and infrastructure that surround it. It is these two contrasting yet necessary modes of understanding the site that have informed our approach and led to the master plan organization for the Vision McMillan project. We articulate them separately below and them as an overall synthesis. The Site as Infrastructure The site was one of the citys rst steps towards becoming a modern metropolis, working to ltrate the water that arrived from the west and diffusing the puried contents to the burgeoning population of the District of Columbia. From a perspective of the water ltration site itself, all of the features that one sees above grade and those that are not exposed and remain below grade were built in a simple, functional manner to perform the sites main function, the purication and ltration of water. Several main themes characterize the architecture of the historic site. The rst theme is one of repetition above and below grade. The vast array of the underground cells are arranged in simple, geometric forms, sky-lit from above and suggesting an almost innite expanse of space below grade. The second theme that emerges is one of simple geometry, with the overall rectangular site grid divided into three parts by the service courts with its three-dimensional forms of the cubic brick regulator houses and the cylindrical concrete forms of the sand storage bins. The third theme is one of landscape. The site is composed of the simple grassy plane formed by the surfaces of the below grade cells, while a tree-lined walkway borders the plane at its perimeter. The fourth and nal theme is one of distinction from the city as the overall level of the top of the ltration cells and the service courts create a distinct and continuous form that makes only the most minimal accommodation with the grades of the adjacent streets. This theme is emphasized by the continuous views across the site east to west that tend to underscore its vastness and separation from the city. The Site in the City Urbanistically, the site is uniquely situated in the context of the capital city with highly diverse uses, heights, and urban contexts. To the north are the large, tall buildings of the VA Hospital and the Washington Hospital Center. To the west, are expansive views across the current McMillan Reservoir extending to Howard University and the residential neighborhoods to the northwest. To the east the neighbors are the small-scale row houses of the Stronghold community, while to the south, Bloomingdale, a similarly scaled neighborhood is located, dened by its rows of stately bay windows and Victorian detail. Views from the city to the site are most signicant traveling south along North Capitol Street and westbound along Michigan Avenue. Long distance views from the west looking east from locations such as Howard University and First Street, N.W. also present the entirety of the site. Traveling south, the site rises out of the ground as the inclined berm becomes the primary experience along Channing Street and parts of First Street and North Capitol Street.

INTRODUCTION

The site is also located at en important gateway or threshold into the historic core. Michigan Avenue marks the point at which one experiences a shift from the small-scale gridded fabric of the lEnfant plan extended, to a more open, pastoral setting described by the Armed Forces Retirement Home, Catholic and Trinity Universities and the VA/Washington Hospital Center complex. Michigan Avenue also marks the point at which North Capitol Street transforms from a rectilinear street to a curving boulevard. Traveling southbound on North Capitol Street one is struck by the unfolding of the historic core and the view of the US Capitol with the McMillan site as the foreground of the scene. Yet this conuence of scales and streets is not a welcoming pedestrian environment and much of the area remains today a car-dominated environment. The plan for McMillan by Vision McMillan Partners proposes the rst step in transforming this part of the Nations Capital from a crossroads of diverse and unrelated pods to a walkable community that supports and enhances the existing residential neighborhoods, provides for a robust and carefully considered preservation and adaptive re-use strategy and includes a variety of much-needed open spaces, pathways and streets to stitch the McMillan site to its neighbors and transform the area into the next great community in our city.

INTRODUCTION, CONT.
Develop architectural language, heights and massing to relate to adjacent areas Each part of the Vision McMillan proposal relates to the surrounding context. To the south and east, heights, massing and architectural language are designed to weave the new development into a smooth relationship with the surrounding neighborhoods of Stronghold and Bloomingdale. In particular, the character and language of the proposed townhouse blocks from the middle to the south of the site propose a language based upon the historic buildings on the site when facing open space on the McMillan site, and alternatively a language based upon Bloomingdale and Channing Street facing those locations. Building heights increase from the south/southeast to the northwest of the site. The overall massing of the blocks from the middle of the site to the north provides a varied skyline with the tallest buildings at the extreme northwest corner of the site and larger blocks are articulated in massing to avoid large expanses of wall that would dominate the historic setting. Design open spaces that offer a variety of experiences and incorporate existing site features to the extent possible Open spaces of diverse sizes and uses are included throughout the design and range from the public park just north of the south service court to the small pocket park that connects Channing Street to the south service corridor. The northeast corner of the site is host to a one acre public garden above one of the historic sand ltration cells. This public space connects to the mixed-use neighborhood center of the north service corridor, a space lined with shops and retail opportunities, including the incorporation of the existing cylindrical sand bins into small shops. The western part of the north service court can be used for public gatherings, concerts and other neighborhood activities such as a farmers market. The main park of the design is 3.3 acres in size and stretches from North Capitol Street to the McMillan reservoir site to the west, preserving the view across the site and including within the park design water features, a preserved portion of cell 20 and open space for passive recreation. The park is terraced to facilitate the ease of movement from the service court level to the grade of the sand ltration cells of cell 20. The south service court is united with the park design and provides access to the park though the historic portals of the sand ltration beds. Combined with the park, the total size of the public space in this area of the site is 5.2 acres. Use sustainable design principles to inform building, site and landscape design The Vision McMillan team is committed to achieving a LEED ND (Neighborhood Development) Silver rating for the overall design. The site plan is designed to use public space to treat storm water and includes progressive methods such as rain gardens, bio-retention, and subsurface cisterns. Each building proposed for the project will minimally achieve the equivalent of LEED Certied standard. Tree cover for the site, currently non-existent, is increased substantially by the generous use of tree-lined streets, park plantings and ground cover. When completed, McMillan will be a unique, mixed-use community where city residents may work, live, shop or enjoy one of its many and diverse public spaces. It will make a physical connection possible to the VA/ Washington Hospital Center complex, reduce the isolation of the Stronghold neighborhood and provide a proper and active faade to Channing Street residents who for decades have looked out to a large, green berm of the historic site. The design will help to make the area safer by providing more eyes on the streets looking out on to public spaces not possible today. Retail opportunities will be supported by resident activity during the evenings and weekends and during the week by the occupants and visitors to the new medical ofce facilities at the northernmost parts of the site. Finally, the design will revive an important part of our shared history and memorialize the important role that McMillan played in the history of our city through preservation, adaptive re-use and the strategic location of open spaces.

Several important design principles inform our approach and are derived from the inherent physical and historical characteristics of the site itself and the inuence of the surrounding urban fabric of the city. They are: Connect the site to the city via a system of walkable streets and blocks As mentioned above, the site is currently an island in the city. The proposal introduces a series of streets and blocks that provide connection from the VA/Washington Hospital Center to the north to Channing Street and the Bloomingdale neighborhood to the south via Half Street and the park system introduced for the site. East/west connection is achieved by re-using the north and south service corridors as part of the street system, as well as introducing two new streets in the plan north and south of the south service court. All streets in the plan are designed with sidewalks and generous pedestrian accommodations as well as a perimeter sidewalk systems that recalls, in places, the historic perimeter walk of the site. site Preserve, re-use and enhance the unique historical elements of the

The Vision McMillan team proposes to incorporate and re-use the most characteristic elements of the historic McMillan site. The cylindrical sand bins of the north and south service courts are to remain and be incorporated, along with the rectangular regulator houses, into the park at the south service corridor and also into the urban, mixed-use street at the north service corridor. The northwest ltration cell # 14 becomes, on its surface, a new park permitting views to the sand cylinders from the north and its underground structure is reserved for future uses to enhance the public and retail activities in that area of the site. Cell 20 is also preserved for future use and is incorporated into the 3.3 acre public park. Approximately 1.25 acres of the underground cells are to be preserved and slated for a future use as part of this plan.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Executive Summaries


The 24.69-acre McMillan Slow Sand Filtration Plant (McMillan) is proposed for redevelopment as a new mixeduse center combining retail, ofce, and townhouse-style and multi-family residential uses, a series of passive and active open spaces placed throughout the site to provide a diversity of recreational programming, and an active and passive preservation program designed to protect, respect, and promote the sites historic character. Part of a local historic landmark, the McMillan Site offers the District of Columbia an extraordinary opportunity to introduce a new center of activity that balances the equities of economics with public benet, community amenities, and preservation. The site is located on the eastern edge of the northwest quadrant of the city, and was once part of the larger 92-acre McMillan Reservoir and Filtration Plant, owned and operated by the United States.. The development site is dened by First Street to the west, Michigan Avenue to the north, North Capitol Street to the east, and Channing Street to the south. Critical to the projects success is its treatment of the sites historic character. The McMillan Site is within the McMillan Park Reservoir Historic Landmark, which was listed in the District of Columbia Inventory of Historic Sites in 1991. As such, the McMillan Site is protected under the District of Columbias preservation law (Historic Landmark and Historic District Protection Act of 1978, DC Law 2-144 as amended). VMP retained EHT Traceries to prepare an independent study of the site history and signicance with the goal of recommending an approach to its preservation within the context of mixed-use development. The study provided the developer with an understanding of the sites historic integrity and recommendations, based on the Secretary of the Interiors Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties, for an approach to preserving the sites historic character and resources in the midst of development. General recommendations and resource-specic recommendations have been incorporated into the redevelopment plan as much as possible. Knowing that full preservation of the site was not feasible, additional recommendations for the mitigation of the loss of historic fabric and integrity were made and incorporated into the amenities package for the Planned Unit Development application. Recommendations, including the retention, preservation, and adaptive re-use of the key above-ground historic resources: service courts, sand bins, regulator houses, sand washers, and portals, and the retention of at least one complete belowgrade cell, have been incorporated into the development scheme. Plans for educational programming related to the sites history as a part of the Districts water system is also included in the application. Beyond water, themes of health, healing and sustainability hold critical roles in sites development and proposed uses.

McMillan Site Sustainability

SUSTAINABILITY AND OVERALL SITE PLAN

The McMillan Sand-Filtration site is approximately 24.69 acres (1,075,355.00 square feet), and located in northwest Washington DC. The property is bound by Channing Street, Michigan Avenue NW, North Capitol Street, and 1st Street NW. A unique feature of this site is that it served as an aqueduct and a water filtration facility for Washington DC. In keeping with the sites history for clean water and sand filtration, and in compliance with a memorandum from DC Water and DDOE (dated July 21, 2010), Vision McMillan Partners (VMP) is proposing a project that is striving for LEED ND; potential LEED certification of its buildings; and implementation of various low impact design elements for its infra-structure. The foundation of our sustainable strategy is to intercept runoff from various surfaces (i.e. rooftops, parking lots, roads and other paved elements) as close to the source as possible, and then direct runoff into either a vegetative recharge and/or filtration facility prior to conveyance into the overall storm system. Sustainable features proposed for the site include pervious pavers (i.e. pavers, pavement or concrete), bio-retention, rain gardens, cisterns, potential green roofs, and the implementation of other green technologies. These sustainable features are first implemented into the projects infra-structure through pervious paved areas within both the North Service Court and South Service Court areas. Furthermore, these areas will facilitate infiltration through lawn and park open space areas. Storm conveyance from roads, streets, and alleys will be directed to rain gardens and other bioretention features along streets and medians. Buildings and parking garages will use storm water vaults and cisterns for storm water management, as well as other filtration methods for water quality. The proposed redevelopment of this site proposes a gross site imperviousness area of 18.23 acres, or 74.65% of the total site area. The sites design is based on proposed amendments for soil erosion and sediment control, and storm water management features according to Chapter 5, Title 21 of the District of Columbia Municipal Regulation (DCMR). The project will incorporate the use of micro-scale practices to achieve the target rainfall to the maximum extent possible. Based on these criteria, the storm water strategy for this site is to treat the Water Quality Volume (WQv) of the first 1 inch rainfall by way of proprietary water quality devices. Specifically, these devices include underground systems (such as filter/cistern system), bioretentions and pervious surfaces. This project proposes a goal of 75% site retention, and 25% site treatment as stated on the referenced regulations. These computations are shown within the plan set and demonstrate how these volumes are achieved within both the sites infra-structure and land bays.
