ROCKVILLE, MD
Keller provided Construction Management at Risk with GMP services to Montgomery County Public Schools on the construction of a new 245,000 SF replacement school which houses a middle school and includes a special needs school attached to the building. The existing two-story middle school was demolished to make way for the new three- and two-story building. The Tilden Middle School facility has a capacity of 1,215 students with a core of 1,500 students, and the Rock Terrace School was designed to accommodate approximately 100 students. Some unique aspects of this project are the circulation requirements which aim to maintain the students from Rock Terrace School, a special needs school, separated from the Tilden Middle School population. Shared and collocated spaces in the center of the building promote staff collaboration and efficiency of uses and building services. Two main entries negotiate the site, each with its own identity, while they form a cohesive whole that enhances the neighborhood respecting the context and the actively engaged community.
