PROJECT SUMMARY

The Baltimore Polytechnic Institute & Western High School Campus Renovation is located in Baltimore, Maryland and encompasses the interior renovation of approximately 681,200 gross square feet across a shared high school campus. The campus includes two separate high schools that share select academic and support spaces.

The project consists primarily of interior demolition and renovation, including the replacement of major MEP systems, interior finishes, and storefront assemblies. Interior work will include selective demolition and replacement of non-structural partitions, ceilings, flooring, lighting, mechanical equipment, and plumbing fixtures. Limited site work is also included as part of the overall scope.

Construction will be phased to allow continued school operations. Western High School will be vacated first and relocated to a swing school while renovations are completed in its buildings. Upon completion, Baltimore Polytechnic High School will then be relocated to a swing facility while renovation of its buildings proceeds.

Construction is anticipated to begin in the summer of 2026 and conclude in the summer of 2030. Each high school renovation phase is expected to take approximately two years to complete.

This Project will be bid in two GMP’s: 
GMP I (Anticipated construction start – July 2026) - This bid package notice will only include the 02A package for Demolition, Abatement and IH Services.

GMP 2 (Anticipated construction Start – September 2026) – Will include all remaining work.
