Patterson High School Feasibility Study

---

Baltimore, MD

Patterson High School in East Baltimore is a Year 1 school under the Baltimore City Public Schools 21st-Century Buildings Plan. Built in 1960, the existing 310,805 SF school has seen enrollment decrease substantially over the years. During the feasibility study process, four design options were forwarded that reduced the Patterson High School program and either renovated or replaced the existing facility, with a reduction in size. The projected utilization suggests that constructing a new, smaller building for the Patterson High School program is the most appropriate and cost-effective means of providing a 21st-century learning environment for Patterson students. BCPS anticipates that a 1,000-student replacement school sized to meet a target utilization rate of 75 to 90 percent, taking into account projected enrollment trends, might be the final solution here, depending on the results of the feasibility study.
