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.
