James F. Oyster
LCOR was awarded the unique opportunity to design and build a 47,000 square foot state-of-the-art school facility for the District of Columbia, while at the same time integrating the construction of a 211-unit residential apartment complex on an adjoining site.

Working in collaboration with the District of Columbia Public Schools, LCOR utilized a creative public/private financing structure to help make the new Oyster School possible and to realize the value of an under-utilized asset — the old school's excess land. The new school was financed by an $11 million, 35-year tax-exempt bond issue. The bonds are being retired by PILOT (Payment in Lieu of Taxes) payments made by the apartment building's current owner. The project was completed in 2001.
