GILMAN SCHOOL:
PERFORMING & COMMUNITY ARTS CENTER

48,000 SF | BALTIMORE, MD

HMA2 architects worked with Gilman School to develop initial building concepts, create a building program and develop a basis for design.  We examined the mission + vision, pedagogy, site conditions, construction costs and timeline of the project. The basis for design was for a 650 seat Performing & Community Arts Center Building that:
