The Francis Scott Key Middle School project included the demolition of the existing structure and construction of the new school on approximately the same location. The two-story, masonry-clad replacement middle school includes approximately 150,000-SF and is organized as four elements: a two-story classroom wing, cafeteria and music room wing, gymnasium and locker room wing, and a media center and administrative wing. Francis Scott Key Middle School is the first middle school in the state of Maryland and the Mid-Atlantic region to be LEED certified and the fourth middle school in the country to obtain LEED Gold.
