Baltimore School for the Arts

Baltimore, Maryland

This complex renovation and transformation project expands the Baltimore School for the Arts' (BSA’s) facilities to support the growth of this vibrant public arts education program.

In addition to completely renovating the historic Alcazar Hotel, the BSA’s main building, we incorporated an adjacent brownstone into the BSA complex. We rigorously reorganized both buildings to improve circulation, accessibility, and functionality. A pair of additions knit it all together.

To keep the school operational during construction, we devised a three-year phasing plan. This schedule kept all departments up and running while minimizing noise, dust, and disruption during the school year.

[The Quinn Evans] team has not only managed to capture the spirit and energy of the BSA in your design and vision, but you have accomplished all of that despite our budget constraints and our need to keep the school operating smoothly during construction.
