Renovation of an educational facility in Mechanicsville, Maryland. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a educational facility.

This project will replace the HVAC system, installed in 1992 at the time of the addition. The project will also replace the roof of the 1992 addition (19,210 sf), which is original and will be 31 years old at the time of replacement. Additional work includes lighting & communication system upgrades (phone, security, fire alarm, communication) as well as installation of a transfer switch to allow for large roll-off generators to power essential portions of the building. The project also includes replacement of the existing underground fuel & water tanks. This limited renovation will include the required building system & educational program enhancements. Maintenance monitors the HVAC system & roof and provides repairs on an as-needed basis, pending the replacement. A study and partial design were completed in advance of the project with local funds allocated in FY 2021 resulting in recommendations to: replace existing wall base & flooring throughout, interior painting & repointing of walls as needed, replace all existing ACT ceiling with grid & acoustic ceiling tiles, patch & repaint all hard ceilings, replace all classroom casework, replace all chalkboards with magnetic white boards, install new tackboards, remove 1980's vision glass and replace with safety glass, complete code analysis on interior doors, complete modifications to restrooms & drinking fountains for ADA compliance, provide for a security entry vestibule, reconfigure health room to meet current standards, and relocation of the art kiln. The project is included in the County's 2024-2029 Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
