This project is still in the conceptual stages, so don't be surprised if it gets a few tweaks here and there. What is currently planned for the 18-acre site is residential and commercial space. Most likely, part of the 1934-built school will be preserved. The school will relocate to a new site in Loudoun County around 2019 or 2020.
