George Washington Carver High School

Montgomery, Alabama

The Montgomery Public School System has embarked on program to consolidate its campus footprint and integrate students into new and existing schools. To that end, JMR+H has been commissioned to expand the existing Carver High School originally designed by the firm in 2008. The expansion includes a new 400 student, 34,000 SF wing adding a 9th Grade Academy to the existing 10th – 12th campus. The project includes classrooms, laboratories, and administrative space to independently support a freshman class. The fabric of materials used in the original design was incorporated into the new wing as a seamless transition to the relatively new campus. Complete scope included sitework, architectural, structural, plumbing, mechanical, electrical, and interior design. In addition, a new 20,000 SF Athletic Field House is added to the existing Football / Track practice field with complete locker rooms, study area, coaches’ offices, and weight room to support Varsity and Junior Varsity Athletics. Along with the new Field House, a new turf practice field and complete resurface of the existing track was incorporated into the new athletic building.
