Location: Frederick County, Maryland
Project Description:
- Tuscarora High School is a new 1,200 seat facility located on Ballenger Creek Pike in Frederick, Maryland. This project included athletic fields for all High School sports, parking and access design as well as a storm water management bio-retention facility. The storm water facility was designed by Fox to include pedestrian access so that this facility could be incorporated into the Science and Biology curriculum at the High School. This project included relocation of a major State Highway (Route 351). Fox worked closely with the highway engineering consultant in order to coordinate access and utility designs as well as required highway construction easements. Fox worked as a Sub-Contractor of Grimm and Parker, who led the complete Architectural and Engineer design team.
- Our project manager worked closely with the design team from the initial sketch plan phase through final site construction and punch-list inspection. FCPS retained the services of a construction management consultant for the project. Fox provided support to the construction manager throughout the design and construction of Tuscarora High School. Our construction services included contract document preparation cost estimating, bidding assistance, answering R.F.I.’s, attendance at progress meetings and the final punch-list inspection.
- The school underwent a 400 seat expansion to 1,600 total seats in 2005. Fox provided complete civil design and construction administration for the expansion as well.
