Thurgood Marshall Academy owns its Main Building, located at 2427 Martin Luther King, Jr. Ave. SE in Washington DC, which was built in the early 20th century and gut-renovated in 2004. Along with an adjacent athletic center, the building serves approximately 400 students and 80 staff. The school plans for a further total renovation in the 2040s.
