Brookline High School 9th Grade Academy in Massachusetts was built directly over the newly renovated MBTA Green Line Brookline Hills Station

The 118,000-square-foot addition at 22 Tappan Street was completed in 2022 and seats 700 seats ("Brookline HS Celebrates Grand Opening Of Tappan Street Building," Patch).

The next best thing would have been to put the football field on top of the building.  

Union Hill High School in Union City, New Jersey did just that ("A Fine New Field Lifts Spirits," New York Times).

DC.  Many of DC's high schools are seriously under-enrolled. The arts high school in Georgetown is only accessible by bus. 

And that area's other high school is overenrolled. 

To shift that HS to better fit the capacity of neighborhood demand, I suggested moving the arts school to either Roosevelt HS (Green Line, and probably more potential students along that line) or to Coolidge (Red Line) and merging the two neighborhood high schools into one larger and more robust school. Alumni groups fight these kinds of changes. 

Prince George's County, Maryland. For years I've suggested Prince George's County Maryland should move its County seat to a Metrorail station, preferably New Carrollton, which also has MARC commuter rail and Amtrak service, and will be the southern terminal station for the Purple Line light rail ("Making over New Carrollton as a transit-centric urban center and Prince George's County's "New Downtown"").

The county has moved a lot of agencies to the Largo Station. But they are big lots, disconnected with minimal walkability. And not the County Council or Executive offices.  Even though these big buildings are there, it's mostly a suburban office park with nothing there.  Although there are a couple apartment buildings trying to leverage Metrorail access--Largo is the eastern terminus of the Blue Line ("Better late than never? DC Metrorail Blue Line Corridor Coalition advocates for TOD, 45 years after line opens").

Suburban Portland, Oregon. I also thought cities on the Portland rail lines should relocate their city halls to be rail accessible.  Gresham didn't have to.  The Light rail station was built nearby.  But it's more of a park and ride, big parking lot kind of station.  

But the city is trying to concentrate activity at light rail stations.  A new East County branch of the Multnomah County opens next week, at the center of the new "Civic neighborhood" -- on Civic Drive -- with its own Light Rail Station.

So they do get it.

The new library.
