Berkshire Elementary School Celebrates Official Opening

Today, Baltimore County Public Schools celebrated the official ribbon cutting for the new Berkshire Elementary School.

Collaborative spaces are interwoven throughout the building, including a large learning commons on each floor, smaller breakout spaces for group and individual instruction, a technology-rich media center, presentation and pinup space on and below the central stair, and a vegetated rooftop classroom with photovoltatic panels.

Designed to achieve LEED Silver certification, the project’s sustainable elements include geothermal heating and cooling, recycled and sustainable materials, daylighting, LED light fixtures, and water-efficient fixtures.
