Overview of the project

In recent years, Pikesville High School’s staff and student population has become overcrowded. In order to improve the conditions, ATI provided major additions, and completed systemic and building shell renovations to the existing three-level high school. The finished renovation allowed the school to accept more than 1,000 additional students and have space to employ 100 additional staff members. The design included new classroom wings, a new library and an updated cafeteria; renovations to the gymnasium, auditorium and administrative offices; complete replacement of existing roofs, windows and some exterior walls; new HVAC; and new finishes throughout the school. Programmatic education enhancements were being offered as part of the new curriculum, in which ATI worked with the school to add new art spaces, a makerspace for Project Lead the Way and STEM, a dance studio, and a space for student interactive media production programs.

Result / Impact

The project encompassed a comprehensive renovation involving replacement of the existing roof, windows, and HVAC systems. It featured classroom additions and complete ADA compliance upgrades with accessible toilet rooms, chairlift, ramps, and elevators. The renovation also included floor replacement, modifications to the kitchen and serving line, and technology enhancements for wi-fi access, security, and door entry control/video systems, along with new finishes throughout the building. As part of the design, an existing detached 22,000 SF wing was removed and replaced with two new consolidated additions. The redesign of the existing window wall transformed the building's overall appearance and functionality.
