TOWSON, MD (January 4, 2011) – Montgomery County Public Schools has chosen Oak Contracting to serve as construction manager on the $11.5 million, 25,492 SF addition to Bradley Hills Elementary School in Bethesda. This project involves the construction of a fifteen-classroom addition to increase the program capacity from 341 to 638. The proposed additions include a two-story classroom addition at the rear of the existing building and an expansion of the administration suite and multi-purpose room, which is achieved by demolishing the existing administration area, kindergarten classroom, and existing multi-purpose room and construction a new single-story expansion in the same location. Each addition is made up of a steel-framed structure with textured and patterned masonry exterior facades. The addition connects to the building in two locations, creating a corridor circulation loop. A new enclosed courtyard is created between the existing building and new addition, which can be used for educational activities and extension of the science curriculum focus that will be housed in the dual-purpose room. Two classrooms within the existing building will be renovated in order to create the corridor links.
The project is being designed by Proffitt & Associates, Architects. Design will continue through fall of 2011 with construction taking place in January 2012 through August 2013.
