Randall Junior High School is an historic building at 65 I Street, Southwest, Washington, D.C. The 80,000 s.f. middle school closed in 1978.

It served as a homeless shelter until 2004, and as artist's studios, the Millenium Arts Center.

In 2006, the Corcoran Gallery of Art purchased the building from the City of Washington for $6.2 million.[2] The initial redevelopment with developer Monument Realty LLC fell through. A Telesis/Rubell group plans to redevelop the property beginning in 2012. The District has the option to reacquire the property in 2018.[3][4]
