Demolition, site work and addition to an educational facility in Sykesville, Maryland. Design plans call for the addition of a educational facility; for the demolition of a educational facility; and for site work for a educational facility.

The scope of this project inlcudes one new prekindergarten classroom at 15 elementary schools. These additions will be phased with the phased implementation of the prekindergarten expansion required by the Blueprint for Maryland's Future legislation. Phase One - Elmer Wolfe, Robert Moton, Runnymede, Spring Garden, Westminster, Wm. Winchester Phase Two - Ebb Valley, Hampstead, Manchester, Winfield Phase Three - Carrolltowne, Eldersburg, Linton Springs, Mechanicsville, Piney Rid The project is included in the County's 2026-2031 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). As of February 10, 2025, information regarding construction manager and general contractor has not been released. Construction is slated to begin Summer of 2026, with substantial completion date of August 2027. However, the firm timelines have not been identified. The project is meant to address the expansion of prekindergarten services for all 3- and 4-year-olds required by the Blueprint for Maryland's Future legislation. Carroll County Public Schools served 400 prekindergarten students at 20 elementary schools in the 2022-23 school year. The new eligibility requirements required by the new legislation will result in additional children qualifying for prekindergarten services. However, it is difficult to project individual school prekindergarten demands due to the voluntary nature of the prekindergarten program. Since almost all of the current Prekindergarten locations were at or near their maximum capacity of 20 seats, it is reasonable to assume that additional prekindergarten classrooms will be necessary to serve any increase in students at all these locations. The preliminary scope of this project inlcudes one new prekindergarten classroom at 14 elementary schools. The final scope will be determined by the Feasibility Study to be conducted in FY 2024. This project is included in the county's fy 2025-2030 Capital Improvement Program. As of May 2, 2025, further details regarding construction and completion timelines have not been identified. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
