Edgewood High School, Edgewood, MD
Edgewood High School is a three-story, 262,600 sf educational, cultural, and recreational center for the entire community. The Auditorium is a focal point of the Arts in the area. The media center functions as a community/technology outreach center. Parks and Recreation hosts athletics and community events here, therefore providing public access and maintaining student security are forces in the design.
One major goal for the 1,743-student school was the creation of a school as a community where students are free to interact, be creative, and pursue their individual interests within a learning environment. To meet this end, the school is broken down into three clusters: Freshman Academy; Math/Science/Technology; and Humanities + Fine Arts.
