Renovation of an educational facility in Bel Alton, Maryland. Design plans call for the renovation of a educational facility.

An informal conditions assessment of the Bel Alton Highschool Gymnasium roof revealed that the structural support system comprised of steel and/or wood, have been compromised due to being exposed to weather over the past 20 years. The main gymnasium's roof is structurally supported by a steel truss system that is showing signs of rust and corrosion and should be evaluated by a structural engineer. There are two auxiliary buildings attached to the main gymnasium that have separate roofing systems, one that is structurally supported by steel bar joists, and the other supported by a combination of steel and wooden joists. Both of the auxiliary buildings' roofing support systems exhibit compromised structural conditions that requires replacement. To immediately secure the facility from further deterioration, temporary measures should be employed to weatherproof the building until a permanent solution can be implemented This project is included in the county’s 2025-2029 Capital Improvement Program. As of November 18, 2024, further details regarding construction and completion timelines have not been identified. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
