Fairfax County is excited to announce the next phase of construction on the highly anticipated “Human Development Center.” This project, aimed at providing “Pathways to Opportunity” for the community, will focus on education, workforce development and life skills training programs.
The state-of-the-art facility is designed with flexibility in mind to accommodate the diverse programming needs of the community. In alignment with the Fairfax County Sustainable Development Policy, the project will incorporate a geothermal system to achieve LEED-Gold certification, ensuring 25% energy efficiency. Additionally, the facility will include electric vehicle charging stations and employ Low Impact Development facilities for effective stormwater management.
The project site is currently vacant and closed to the public. Safety fencing has been installed, and erosion and sediment control measures are ongoing. Significant construction traffic is expected to begin within the next couple of months. A groundbreaking is being planned for this fall. The construction is scheduled for completion in the summer of 2026, with a grand opening to follow. Learn more.
