Project Number: GF-000019-003
Public Works and Environmental Services Alert:
While much historic preservation and adaptive reuse has already occurred on the Workhouse Campus under the partnership of the County and the Workhouse Arts Foundation’s projects & programs, the intent of this Master Plan is to continue the redevelopment to accommodate vibrant, integrated, mixed-use programs that realize the development potential of the campus while maintaining and protecting the site’s historic character, assets, and resources.
The project seeks to explore opportunities and create a framework for the future improvements and growth of the county owned 52-acre Workhouse Campus. The overarching vision for the Workhouse Campus is to establish a unique, widely recognized destination of choice, providing dynamic and engaging arts, cultural, educational, and community building experiences with unique economic development opportunities. The campus contains numerous historic buildings formerly used to house and rehabilitate inmates. Certain buildings currently in use on the site have been renovated and operate as the Workhouse Arts Center pursuant to an agreement between the County and Workhouse Arts Foundation, Inc (WAF). The County continues to maintain ownership of the entire campus and, through licensing and leasing agreements, WAF continues operation, management, and programming of the buildings it currently occupies.
The project is located at 9518 Workhouse Way, Lorton, Virginia.
