The Fort Worthington Elementary/Middle School design team sought to develop a building that could provide students a comprehensive education on a small urban site already occupied by an existing elementary school.
The design solution was developed to meet the educational requirements of the expanded grades K to 8 population and provide a cost effective, energy efficient and safe facility to meet the school’s future needs. The school partnered with Parks & Rec. for public use of some interior spaces inside the Community wing as well as exterior recreational facilities with controlled after-hours access to the gym, cafetorium, and media center. The building will also provide community support spaces, such as community learning and meeting areas, flex office spaces, mental health and personal care facilities. Separate vestibule areas are provided for secure visitor access to the communal spaces for after-hours use.
Fort Worthington Elementary/Middle School is the first all-new construction project in BCPS’s 21st Century School Buildings Plan, and includes an expanded program to serve grades K-8. The design concept provides for a 102,000 sf new building that will maximize the site area and outdoor rooftop learning area. The replacement school is LEED Gold Certified.

As the first completed project on Morgan State University’s emerging West Campus, the new Earl G. Graves School of Business and Management is both an expansion and a reclamation, an assertion of the University’s role in the surrounding community and a striking statement of its figurative presence in Baltimore. More than a physical bridge between the West and Main campuses, the building is a metaphorical bridge between the University’s past and its future. The building stands on the site of a historic moment in the civil rights movement, when Morgan State successfully protested for the desegregation of the Northwood Shopping Center in 1963. The project also signals the University’s new role in the community, including plans to revitalize the adjacent shopping center as a vital retail hub.
Replacing the School’s 1970s-era facility, the new building supports the University’s programs, services, and activities related to business and management, with state-of-the-art learning, study, and collaboration environments consistent with high academic standards and aspirations, along with inviting public spaces that nurture community engagement. The design reflects the energy and spirit of the School, offering a framework for creating a strong academic community, while also embodying the University’s commitment to sustainability.
