Bay-Brook Elementary/Middle School
Baltimore, MD
The new 800-student LEED Silver facility was designed to promote flexible and interactive learning environments, integrate security measures and increased visibility, enhance accessibility and life safety, incorporate sustainable materials and practices, and provide educational opportunities during school and non-school hours. Each floor of the three-story building houses three classroom wings.

All three classroom wings—P-K through 2nd grade, 3rd through 5th grade, and 6th through 8th grade—contain dedicated collaborative learning areas that are centralized to make the spaces open and easily accessible. Larger core-curriculum spaces, consisting of the cafeteria/dining area, media center, administration, gymnasium, and community space, are located on the first floor.
Bay-Brook Elementary/Middle School is part of the 21st Century School Buildings Program, which, through legislation, creates a partnership between the City of Baltimore, the Baltimore City Board of School Commissioners, the Interagency Committee on School Construction, and the Maryland Stadium Authority. The partnership leveraged $60 million into bond money to support school renovation and replacement projects. The ADG provided CA services in partnership with architects of record from Crabtree, Rohrbaugh & Associates.

Southwest Academy Middle School
Gwynn Oak, MD
The ADG provided architectural services in the replacement and upgrading of the existing HVAC systems. Work included the replacement of perimeter unit air conditioners, rooftop DOAS, select RTUs, and ground-mounted chillers. Select interior renovations, including window replacements and roof modifications, were also required for the project. Due to political pressure, the project was fast-tracked through design. The cost of construction was $8 million, and the construction method was a traditional design/bid/build.

Harford Heights/Sharp Leadenhall Elementary School
Baltimore, MD
The Harford Heights/Sharp Leadenhall Elementary School covers approximately 140,000 square feet, situated on the existing 12.68-acre Harford Heights Elementary School site. The project included selective demolition, renovations, and additions to the existing Harford Heights Elementary School, which will renovate and expand the Harford Heights Elementary curriculum and create a new Sharp Leadenhall school facility. The two schools share centralized kitchen and support spaces, including a secured connection corridor, but operate as separate and independent schools.
The proposed Harford Heights Elementary includes renovations to the existing two-story classroom wing and gymnasium space, with one-story additions including administration, guidance, kitchen, dining and support, and community spaces. The proposed school will be designed to support approximately 500 students. The ADG is providing CA services in partnership with architects of record from Crabtree, Rohrbaugh & Associates.
