DESCRIPTION

AWARDS

Baltimore Design School is a new Baltimore City Public combined middle and high school with a focus on Fashion Design, Architectural Design, and Graphic Design. The newly renovated facility is located in the Station North Arts and Entertainment District and serves as an anchor to strengthen the district. A unique public-private funding plan utilizing community tax credits and loans guaranteed by Baltimore City Public Schools made the new $26.5-million facility possible for the Baltimore Design School.

Southway transformed the 114,000 SF concrete structure through extensive demolition, stabilization, and rehabilitation of the badly deteriorated building. The design called for an aesthetic intent of a carefully stabilized and rehabilitated exterior with new energy efficient windows and doors selected to visually match the original. The interior is that of an open industrial loft where existing walls and structure that remain are cleaned and sealed and left exposed to view. New partitions, finishes, casework, and MEP systems are inserted in an economical but visually clean way, clearly defining the meeting of new and existing.
