Prince George’s County Public Schools (PGCPS) is among the 20 largest school districts in the United States and located minutes outside of Washington, D.C. PGCPS has the second oldest school facilities in Maryland and a large percentage of its buildings need replacement or complete renovations. Through the PGCPS Department of Capital Programs, this partnership will help address these critical needs by constructing six new schools and bringing them online for the 2023-2024 school year.
This innovative delivery approach is the first of its kind for a U.S. public school system and is designed to accelerate the delivery of critical school facilities while advancing economic inclusion goals through diverse and local business utilization.
Baumann Consulting is providing commissioning services for the planned system upgrade of the six schools. Each of the five Middle Schools will be approx. 150,000 sf and the PreK-8th grade School will be 240,000 sf. Baumann is providing MEP commissioning, low voltage (audio/visual, IT), and security systems. The school buildings are designed according to LEED Silver.
